Pant and pandya shine as india win the series 2-1

India win the series decider in Manchester and claim the 3 match series 2-1

earlier in the day rohit sharma won the toss and elected to bowl one forced change for team india as jasprit bumrah miss out due to back spasm and siraj replaces him
English open jason roy come out all guns blazing hit shami for 3 boundary in first over
Siraj who replaces jasprit bumrah in the action straight away picks up johny baistrow and joe root with great outswinger

Indian all rounder hardik pandya was in the action soon as he dismiss jason roy and stockes with short ball pandya was banding his back and geting lot’s of bounce

captain jos buttler and allrounder moeen ali builds partnership and rebuild the inning

but inspired bowling change by rohit sharma ravindra jadeja picks up moeen ali

haridk pandya back with another spell and picks up all important wicket of liam livingstone and butler with bouncer

Partnership between willy and overton takes Eng. to 259 set india 260 to chase.it was tricky chase because of wicket was offering bounce to fast bowler and India top order was not in great form.india loss early wicket of sikhar dhwan rohit sharma and virat kohli

India were reduce to 70/4 before pant and pandya comes to gather

pant was playing himself in while pandya starts attacking eng bowler once he gets his eye in

after playing so well hardik pandya dismiss but than risabh pant just destroy eng. after he get to 100 he hit willy for 5 boundary in one over
application shown by pant was heart warming as he was looking to finish the match for team india

Rishabh pant has lots of success in test cricket but in white ball game he was not getting those big score people questioning his place in the team
but team management shows full faith in pant and giving him that role at number 4 giving him time and responsibility
Rishabh pant play high risk game but that makes him very special is well
we have to accept that Rishabh pant is very young he will make mistake but he will play inning like this were he will take India to special win

india will be very happy that india win the series without any big contribution of their top 3

hardik pandya was massive plus as he was declare man of the series
hardik pandya fit and bowling well it just changes the balance of the team

india will be very happy with this white ball part of eng tour as they were very clinical in their victory against very strong eng team
