India skipper, Virat Kohli says they would have bowled as well. He mentions that the dew will play a massive factor and they would have looked to restrict England for a par total. He mentions that they need to trust their bowlers with the dew. He mentions that they have their only chance to fine tune their bowling with the dew around. He further says that they try and keep the dressing room  jovial. He mentions that erveryone in the team is in a celebration mode whether they are in the XI or not.

Pitch Report - Deep Dasgupta is down for the pitch report along with Ajit Agarkar. Dasgupta says that the Tests were played on the red soil while the T20Is will see the use of black soil. it is nice and hard with a bit abraisiveness. He mentions that it should assist the spinners. Agarkar says that the outfield is in top condition and as the game goes on it might get sliky. Dasgupta ends by saying that 175 should be a par score.

We are done with the Tests as Eoin Morgan takes the charge from Joe Root for the limited-overs series against India. For India, it is their all-weather captain, Virat Kohli who will lead his boys for the 5-match T20I series. Both the teams would look to fine-tune their skills ahead of the mega event later in the year. T20 is known to have a mixture of brute force and smart batting who utilises the power-hitting to good effect and both teams boast of a fiery batting line up. Though on the batting front both are even-stevens it is the bowling which shows a big difference between them. England have struggled with the ball in the game's shortest format while India have been consistent with their bowling. A crucial toss awaits us as dew is set to play its part. Stay tuned to know more.
