England vs India 2018, 3rd T20I: Player Ratings for both the sides

With the series tied 1-1, the Indian team took on England at Bristol with an aim of winning its maiden T20I series in England.

Indian skipper Virat Kohli won the toss and decided to field, but the Indian skipper's decision backfired as the English batsmen targeted the Indian bowlers from the word go and scored 103 runs for the loss of just 2 wickets in just 9 overs.

However, the Indian bowlers fought back and conceded just 95 runs in next 11 overs to restrict English team to 198/9 in their allotted 20 overs, when at one stage it looked like the hosts would score around 220.

Chasing a huge target of 199, the Indian team lost Shikhar Dhawan cheaply, but Rohit Sharma stood tall and scored his 3rd T20 international hundred, and along with small contributions from KL Rahul, Virat Kohli and Hardik Pandya that helped India chase down the target of 199 in just 18.4 overs, thereby helping India win its maiden T20I series in England.
