PLAYER OF THE MATCH
Priyanshu: "Perfect to bring Bhuvi back into the attack" - You called it, Priyanshu!
Revanth Raj: That's why England always needs players like Root!!!
Pushkar Shukla: Can't we have Bhuvi back in the attack. India needs more wickets, and now is the time to put pressure on the opposition.
Siddeshwar: Kuldeep should be taken off and brought back if there is a couple of breakthroughs. He is not looking in Rhythm. He is a good bowler for middle and lower middle order. Pace from the both ends should work
Nikhil: Loving Prasidh Krishna's attitude here. Enjoying the contest against Bairstow and giving it back.
Pankaj Chaplot: Please tell England players that T20Is are over.
Saksham: This shows that how disciplined England bowlers were in their line and length in the first 10 overs.
Pavan: England seems to compensate the time they wasted during bowling.
Sujit Alagiah: "That's why people said India might be 20 odd runs short. Up to slower bowlers to make some inroads." -- At this rate they're looking like a lot more than just 20 short.
HJ: Everyone except Bhuvi is being attacked. Maybe India should try Hardik, he bowled really well in T20s.
Aishwarya Bal: Flat track and India need to bowl really well. Bairstow can get stuck into this bowling line up for sure.
Amit Satpathy: Bhuvneshwar kumar is such a gem! Kohli and India are lucky to have him.
Bishal Mallick: Despite India's wonderful comeback in this game, I still feel they will be 20 short! Seems to be a flat deck.
Sanket Bal: Given India's success ratio with debutants, India should employ more debutants in times to come.
Sounak Mullick: Krunal got his cap from Hardik and he has donned the power-hitting hat as well.
Subham Parida: First Dhawan, now Rahul, Indian players doing well to ensure the problem of plenty persists.
Adithya Kumar: "I think both the teams are playing disciplined cricket. England keeping them within 6 runs an over and India not letting go of their wickets." - Hanging in the balance indeed.
Rituraj Sen: I can see India going on to score something big with such a cautious start... That's what the pair of Dhawan and Sharma has provided over the years.. BIG RUNS
