Ahmedabad:Another day, another T20I match, another Mumbai Indians batsman and the same story.
Team India's story in this game was almost similar to their run in this series so far. Indian skipper Virat Kohli walked in the field for the toss, lost it, asked to bat first and then their openers struggle against England's bowling unit, lost a wicket in the powerplay.
However, unlike in their previous attempts, Team India managed to put a respectable total of 185 runs on the board for the loss of eight wickets, courtesy of a quickfire fifty from Suryakumar Yadav and some brilliant batting from Shreyas Iyer.
Batting first, Rohit Sharma looked in good touch as he walked to the crease on the very first ball of the match and smashed Adil Rashid for a six over long-off; India collected 12 runs from the first over and for a moment the home fans were able to breathe freely. But not for long, as Jofra Archer dismissed the Indian vice-captain with a leg cutter in his second over.
India's scoreboard read 21 for 1 in 3.4 overs, when SuryaKumar Yadav walked to bat and dispatched Jofra Archer for a six on his very first ball and after that, the Mumbai Indians cricketer did not look back.
During his stay at the crease, Suryakumar kept India's scoreboard ticking as he smashed England bowlers all over the ground before he was dismissed controversially by Sam Curran.
Suryakumar scored 57 runs off 31 balls with the help of six fours and three sixes. Kl Rahul continued his horrendous for in this series as he was dismissed by Ben Stokes in the 8th over for 14 runs off 17 balls.
