How
How did the Indian cricketers fare in the T20I series against England?

#6 MS Dhoni (Inn: 1 Runs: 32 | Mat: 3 Ct: 5 St: 2)- 8/10

MS Dhoni too didn't get too many opportunities with the bat in the series

MS Dhoni got a chance to bat only once in the entire series. Pummeling a few lusty blows towards the end of the innings, Dhoni ended up making a handy contribution of 32 runs in a low-scoring second game.

However, it was his brilliant glove work behind the stumps that made a more telling contribution to India's cause in the series.

While Dhoni's lightning quick stumpings left the English batsmen clueless, his safe catching helped him register a record five catches in a single innings.

#7 Hardik Pandya (Inn: 2 Runs: 45 | Mat: 3 Wkt: 6)- 8.5/10

Not having to do much of a job with the bat, Hardik Pandya shone brightly with the ball in hand. Delivering his full quota of four overs in all the three games, the younger Pandya proved to be more than a handful for India's captain Kohli.

While the first two games saw him chip in with one wicket in each game, the third encounter witnessed the lanky all-rounder register his career-best figures of 4-38, which helped put brakes on England's barrage.

To add further to the glory, Pandya also scored a blistering 33 off 14 balls towards the end to help India score a comfortable victory.

#8 Bhuvneshwar Kumar (Mat: 2 Wkt:1)- 4/10

Bhuvneshwar Kumar wasn't quite at his best in the two games he played

With the series played in seam-friendly conditions of England, Bhuvneshwar Kumar was expected to make the ball talk with his skillful swing bowling.

However, with conditions turning out to be batsmen-friendly, Kumar had tough outings in both the games he played.

While he was pummeled for 45 runs off his four overs in the first game, he accounted for better figures in the second match in a losing cause.

The man from Uttar Pradesh was ruled out of the third game with a stiff back and will be itching to get back into form in the ODI series.
