Thatβs all from the 4th T20I between India and England. The Men in Blue have taken a 3-1 lead in the 5-match T20I series, with one game remaining at the Wankhede Stadium. England crumbled once again, handing the game to the hosts in a disappointing performance! A comprehensive 15-run win for Team India in the 4th T20I against England.
For now, this is Pritam Dey signing off on behalf of my co-commentator Ajay Pal Singh who, along with scorer/analyst Raju Khariya brought all the actions of this clash. Stay tuned for more cricketing action from around the world! BYE BYEπ
Suryakumar Yadav (India Captain): "Absolutely. It was a top effort from everyone in the field. Obviously it was a great crowd here. From the start till the end, they were always behind us. It was not possible without them.
Ah, we did not want to go back after 10/3. Boys know what brand of cricket they wanted to play. Three wickets in an over is not good but the way Hardik and Dube batted, it was great.
I mean this is one thing we have been talking about. We want everyone to express themselves and bat the same way as they bat in the nets. I am pleased that we are moving in the right direction.
I always knew that post the powerplay, between the 7-10 overs, we could control the game. Post the drinks break, unfortunately Shivam Dube couldn't come inside and Harshit Rana came in as a third seamer and delivered it for us.
(On the 5th T20I at Mumbai) Hahaha. Lot of fireworks I am sure."
Player of the Match: Shivam Dube

Jos Buttler (England Captain): "Yeah, I think we started brilliantly. We took wickets in powerplay and then got runs in the batting powerplay. We were in a great position, I feel we should have gone on to win the game.
It is disappointing, we did good things in the game. I dropped a catch of Dube first ball, then he played a brilliant innings. With the bat, we were in a fantastic position and lost a couple of wickets quickly.
I think we have to double down on the way we play, I am impressed with how we were committed to the brand of cricket we have played. I think if we can commit more, we will win a lot more games."
