England capitalised on the situation as the top three Indian batsmen failed miserably.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But Rishabh Pant, who came in at number 4, was extravagant and played a reverse scoop off Jofra Archer keeping up his fearless image. India banked on Pant and Shreyas Iyer\u2019s partnership but it was soon broken by Ben Stokes. Pant\u2019s stay at the crease was cut short as he went straight into Jonny Bairstow\u2019s grip.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Albeit, Iyer showed resilience and stood up on the pitch. India got some momentum as Iyer continued to send the ball at every pocket on the field. Iyer brought up 50 off 36 balls.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hardik Pandya, who made a comeback from injury, departed at the crucial time. Pandya tried to slap it through the off side but got caught by Chris Jordan at mid-off. Shardul Thakur also departed trying a rook shot.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Jofra Archer picked up three wickets. Iyer remained glued to the pitch till the last over. He scored 67 0ff 48, his highest score in T20I, before Dawid Malan caught him brilliantly at the boundary off Chris Jordan. At the end of the innings, India scored 124 for 7.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>English captain Eoin Morgan won an important toss at the Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium.
