#INDvENG The first match was won by England by eight wickets and the second match was won by India by seven wickets. Both matches were played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
India was defeated by eight wickets in the first match but the second match was equally impressive. There were also two special things in this match.
Firstly, Virat Kohli completed his 3000 runs in T20 matches by scoring an unbeaten 73 in this match and the second special thing was Ishaan Kishan’s batting.
Ishaan Kishan, playing his first match, scored 56 runs and certainly played an important role in India’s victory.
Ishaan Kishan presented such a pattern of his aggressive batting from the first ball to the dismissal that the match was one-sided in India’s favor. While praising him, Virat Kohli later admitted that he is a ‘reckless batsman’ and the partnership with him proved to be decisive.
In this match, India had a target of 165 runs to win, which they achieved by losing three wickets in 17.5 overs.
Ishaan Kishan was also the ‘Man of the Match’ of this match.
He said that – He was a bit nervous but he came to the ground only for the purpose of victory.
He credited his best innings to his coach, his teammates and his father. He is the second Indian batsman to score a half-century in his first match in the last ten years.
In this match played on 14 March, India captain Virat Kohli decided to bowl first after winning the toss. The team’s vice-captain Rohit Sharma was rested for the second consecutive match while Suryakumar Yadav and Ishaan Kishan were allowed to play.
Opener Shikhar Dhawan and spinner Akshar Patel, who were unsuccessful in batting in the first match, did not find a place in the team. It seems that Suryakumar Yadav and Ishaan Kishan have got the gift of a great performance in the last IPL.
