England\u2019s captain Eoin Morgan won the toss and invited the hosts to pad up first. India tottered after losing the openers early. India\u2019s skipper Virat Kohli also fell short of scoring adequate runs.<\/p>\n<p>England, on the other hand, swiftly sailed to the winning run margin, 125. During the post-match presentation, Kohli spoke about India\u2019s inability to execute plans.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe just weren\u2019t aware of what we had to do on that pitch, lack of execution on our shots and something we have to address. Accept your faults, come back with more intent, clarity of areas you want to hit. Wicket didn\u2019t allow you to hit the shots we wanted to. Shreyas showed how to use the crease and ride the bounce. Below par batting performance and England made us play,\u201d Kohli said during the post-match presentation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe looked to try a few things, but having said that you have to accept the conditions. If the pitch allows you to, you can be aggressive from ball one. We didn\u2019t spend enough time assessing, Shreyas did but we had lost too many wickets to get to 150-160,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Virat Kohli \ud83d\udde3\ufe0f \"We just weren't aware of what we had to do on that pitch\"<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/cIH3OqrDP5\">https:\/\/t.co\/cIH3OqrDP5<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/INDvENG?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#INDvENG<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/9vyxCjSzOi\">pic.twitter.com\/9vyxCjSzOi<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 ESPNcricinfo (@ESPNcricinfo) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ESPNcricinfo\/status\/1370420146246840322?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 12, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Kohli said they would stick to their plans and things will be aligned when it\u2019s their time.

On your day, you will end up scoring much more, sometimes it doesn\u2019t come off. Stay true to your plans but accept that the bowling team can come out and execute their plans. [Switch from Tests?] That shouldn\u2019t be a factor, take pride in playing good white-ball cricket, won our last few T20 series. These five games before the World Cup, we have to try and few things, but we can\u2019t take anything lightly against England,\u201d Kohli concluded.<\/p>\n<p>Winning the series opener, England went one up.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>England thumped India by eight wickets in the first T20I of the match-match series at the Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium,\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":133,"featured_media":25430,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[1138,658,1567],"class_list":["post-2336","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cricket","tag-ecb","tag-shreyas-iyer","tag-world-cup-t20"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2336","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/133"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2336"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2336\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/25430"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2336"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2336"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2336"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
