India started the series with a crusher, looks England beaten in both batting as well as bowling. What's interesting is the team combination one pace attack supported by all rounder Hardik which worked for now but they really need to build the core for 2026 T20 WC which is scheduled in India so I believe the team must have 2 proper pace attack along with Hardik that is the best combination in terms of balance.

It was a one-sided game where India were dominant from the first ball. Hardeep Singh looked good, but Hardik Pandya gave more runs in his first spell. The selectors will find another good pacer before the 2026 WC, it is very early to think about it now. I did like the strategy the SKY implemented in the first session where he rotated the bowlers correctly. Not to forget we saw some good catches by the Indian team yesterday which shows they have been working hard on their fielding.
