IND vs ENG 3rd T20I Highlights: England beat India by 26 runs, Varun Chakravarthy wins POTM

With back-to-back wins in Kolkata and Chennai, India are leading 2-0 in the five-match T20I series against England. The bowlers, particularly Arshdeep Singh and Varun Chakravarthy have been sensational, leading India to victory in both matches. In the third T20I, the hosts will be hoping to keep up with the momentum and seal the series at Niranjan Shah Stadium in Rajkot.

The Jos Buttler-led side, on the other hand, looked clueless against spin in the first T20I and couldn’t make the most of the opportunity in Chennai. Barring the captain, other batters failed to live up to the potential and that’s a concern. Brydon Carse, who replaced Gus Atkinson in the previous game, showed glimpses of his class but overall, the team needs to improve to get back to winning ways.

    IND vs ENG 3rd T20I: Here's what Suryakumar Yadav and Jos Buttler said after the toss

    Suryakumar Yadav: We will bowl first, looks nice and hard, don't think it will change later as well. Rajkot has always been a good track, sure it will be a sporting one. We wanted to play a different brand of cricket but at the same time you need to understand the situation and he (Tilak) bailed the side out. We'll look at it as a 3 game series from here, boys are charged up. Arshdeep is resting, Shami comes in.

    Jos Buttler: Looks a really good surface, looking forward to batting. We would've chased as well. Looks a good wicket, guys have had a good practice yesterday and we're excited for the match. Was a really good game of cricket, we fought really hard and pushed them all the way. We need to play really well tonight. We know how well India play, they're a strong team. We need a good total to defend. Same team but Jamie Smith will keep wickets, Salt has got a little stiff calf.
