*Official* India v England 3-ODI series at Maharashtra CA Stadium, Pune

Very good 4 months for Indian cricket. Have won 5 series from DEC to MAR.

Shardul, Pant and Natrajan have been the find of last 4 months .
Shardul almost messed it up by conceeding 20 runs towards the end bowling off cutters at short length and by dropping a straightforward catch. He got lucky this time or he would have been thrashed left right and center by media.

He took 3 key wickets. I doubt anyone would have blamed him.

The blame would have been on India's lower order batsmen and Hardik Pandya for dropping easy catch of Curran early in his innings

Pant's dismissal was ridiculous - his poor temperament almost cost India the match. Also shows how Pant is weak against medium fast bowling, never mind express pace bowling. That's why Sanju Samson needs to be backed - Samson hits pace bowling too. Sanju is the next Rohit Sharma, he is at that stage Rohit was in 2013.

The first over from Bhuvi to Roy was exceptional(to me, it was the best over in the recent T20Is and this ODI series), funny how there were 15 scored of it. Roy was literally checking his drive and trying to guess which way the ball was swinging and got lucky each time except the last one. This also showed how bad the written commentary is on some of these websites.

Bhuvi's celebration was really cute

It's the angriest I've ever seen him. Consisted of a little fist pump and looking at the floor like 90% of the time.

Weeks of staying put inside a bio bubble during the pandemic hasn't been easy for the Indian cricket team. However, if there is anything positive to emerge from such strict quarantine rules then it is the forging of a 'renewed friendship' between two proverbial alphamales in the Team India dressing room - Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma.

TOI understands that Kohli and Sharma, two of Team India's senior-most members - aided by the team management and coach Ravi Shastri - found the time and space needed to sit across the table and "talk it out" during the series against England.

The two batsmen, who over the last couple of years, were reportedly not getting along, decided to begin on a fresher note.


"Apart from winning two big series, that's been the biggest gain inside the Team India dressing room. A great deal of personal bonding has happened in recent weeks and they're more in sync now than ever with regards to their cricket, the team, their responsibilities and the upcoming challenges. They understand now, more than ever, that the team will only benefit if they find themselves on the same page. This has been the biggest takeaway in the last four months," top sources said.

From opening the batting to relying on each other on the field to bonding off it, Kohli and Sharma have ticked all the right boxes to understand each other's perspective better. Staying inside the bio-bubble for weeks meant a lot of extra time on hand and that helped.
well this certainly won't put any rumors to bed.

well this certainly won't put any rumors to bed.
If MI wins another IPL and RCB has another pathetic season then rift will widen even more.
