That's a wrap for our coverage of the India vs England T20I series, but we'll be back very soon with the ODI series as well. It was a pleasure bringing you Abhishek's destruction and Chakravarthy's magic, and we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.

Thank you for tuning in to NDTV Sports. Keep following for all the Live and Latest sports updates from around the world!

Goodnight!

When we see our favourite stars play T20 cricket again, it will be not in international colours, but those of their franchises. The small matter of the Indian Premier League 2025 coming up in just 7 weeks!

'Player of the Series' award goes to Varun Chakravarthy. 14 wickets in 5 games!

'Player of the Match' award goes to Abhishek Sharma. No prizes for guessing.

India vs England action doesn't stop here! We have a very crucial three-match ODI series up next, as India's senior setup come back in, with the likes of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli.

The series will be huge, as we gear up for the Champions Trophy 2025!

Mentored by Yuvraj Singh, takes his stance like Chris Gayle. And tonight, Abhishek Sharma reached a stratosphere where it seemed like he inherited the powers of both the cricket icons. Abhishek Sharma was untouchable tonight. 

279 runs in the series for him, the highest by far. Jos Buttler is second with 146, just 11 more than what Abhishek scored tonight alone.

Varun Chakravarthy will probably be awarded the 'Player of the Series'. 14 wickets in 5 games. At 33 years old, he is in the form of his life. Whenever it seemed England were getting ahead, Suryakumar Yadav would turn to Varun Chakravarthy. And he would deliver, without fail.

This is India's second-biggest T20I win in terms of margin of victory (by runs).

A stunning all-round performance, with bat and ball, to wrap up a superb series win.

What a scintillating performance by Abhishek Sharma. 135 runs off 54 balls, the highest-ever T20I score by an Indian. Took a catch too, and then picked up two wickets in one over!

Is that the greatest individual T20I performance by an Indian cricketer ever?

Much like the Test series almost 12 months ago, India have beaten England 4-1 once again here in thr T20I series. From Varun Chakravarthy to Abhishek Sharma, from Tilak Varma to Harshit Rana - the new-look Team India continues to shine under Gautam Gambhir in T20I cricket.

The final wicket goes! It took a DRS review, but a thick edge by Mark Wood means that England are all out for 97! Mohammed Shami takes 3 wickets in the end.

India clinch a 4-1 series win! 

ENG 97/10 - lose by 150 runs vs India (247/9)

Mohammed Shami picks up his second wicket! Good short ball to Adil Rashid, who tries to go big. Dhruv Jurel is on as a back-up wicket-keeper and takes a simple catch.

One more wicket to go!

ENG 97/9 (10.2)

England survive 10 overs. Adil Rashid picks up a boundary off Shivam Dube. Matter of time before the game ends, surely.

ENG 96/8 (10)

England are falling apart like nine pins. Shivam Dube gets a second wicket. Jacob Bethell is bowled. That's the last recognized England batter back in the dugout.

ENG 90/8 (9.1)

What a day this is turning out to be for Abhishek Sharma! 2 wickets in one over! Jamie Overton mistimes it, Suryakumar Yadav takes a brilliant running catch. England are 7-down!

ENG 90/7 (9)

Abhishek Sharma can do no wrong! Brought into the bowling attack, takes a wicket off his FIRST delivery! Brydon Carse tries to go big, and Varun Chakravarthy takes another good catch in the deep. Gautam Gambhir is in disbelief, touches his head in amazement, and even lets out a small smile.

England are 6-down, and staring at defeat.

ENG 87/6 (8.1)

Here's an image of Varun Chakravarthy's explosive 'shush' celebration after dismissing Liam Livingstone:

Phil Salt is gone! Shivam Dube is into the attack, and his medium pace cutter works to perfection. Huge wicket here, and India are halfway there to a 4-1 series victory now.

Salt departs for 55.

ENG 82/5 (7.1)

Now Jacob Bethell gets into the act! England continute the healthy run rate, but they are 4 wickets down. 

A Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) duo in the middle now.

ENG 82/4 (7)

Big six once again! 50 for Phil Salt, taken him just 21 balls. It's the fastest fifty by an England batter against India in T20I cricket.

It has been a solo effort by Salt for England today.

ENG 75/4 (6.3)

Varun Chakravarthy strikes again! Given a second over, Livingstone tries to go big, doesn't get the connection. Rinku Singh is as safe as houses at long on. Chakravarthy celebrates with the "shush".

England 4-down, big trouble!

ENG 68/4 (6.1)

Two boundaries in his first three balls! Liam Livingstone makes a fiery start. England 68 at the end of the powerplay.

England have a good run-rate but they've lost three wickets!

ENG 68/3 (6)

Harry Brook departs! To spin again. Harry Brook has been dismissed by spin on all 5 games. Bishnoi floats it up, Brook tries to go big and Varun Chakravarthy takes a superb diving catch at deep square leg!

ENG 59/3 (5.2)

Phil Salt is timing really well here! Picks up two boundaries off the final two balls of Chakravarthy's over. 

ENG 59/2 (5)

England bring up their 50 in the 5th over. Phil Salt has scored 40 off those runs, in only 18 balls. Varun Chakravarthy is bowling a great over, though.

ENG 51/2 (4.4)

Varun Chakravarthy is the man with the golden arm! First ball, Buttler tries to hit it big, but finds the fielder at long off. Tilak Varma takes an easy catch. Buttler goes for 7.

ENG 48/2 (4.1)

Salt is up to 39 off just 17 balls! Drives it through mid-off for another boundary. 17 off the over, expensive from Hardik in his second.

ENG 48/1 (4)

Hardik Pandya is bowling his slower balls really well. England have still had a good powerplay so far though. Buttler picks up the slow bouncer and slams it over the 30-yard circle for 4.

END 44/1 (3.5)

SIX! Hardik misses his length, full toss on the pads and Salt flicks it away for six. Hits it high on the next ball, and it drops between three Indian fielders!

ENG 38/1 (3.2)

Phil Salt grabs another 4 against Mohammed Shami. England up to 31 in 3 overs. England captain Jos Buttler is in from the other end.

ENG 31/3 (3)

Bottom edge for Ben Duckett trying to hit it over the off-side in-field. Hits it straight to the fielder. Abhishek Sharma takes the catch, you just can't keep him out of the game.

First wicket for Mohammed Shami on his India return!

ENG 23/1 (2.1)

Hardik puts pace in the delivery and Salt slams it away for 4 through mid-wicket. Good over nevertheless from an Indian perspective, only 6 off it.

ENG 23/0 (2)

Hardik Pandya into the attack, and is making life difficult for Phil Salt. Taking the pace off, bowling some clever cutters and swinging it well. Four dots in a row!

ENG 19/0 (1.4)

Phil Salt is going for it here! Tries to go big again, the ball goes high up and falls beyond Hardik Pandya who was giving the chase from mid-on. End-to-end action!

ENG 16/0 (0.4)

4, 4, 6! The first three balls have been smashed to the boundaries. What a start for England. Can Phil Salt return to form tonight?

ENG 14/0 (0.3)

BANG! Phil Salt sends a clear message. First ball races away to the fence, through the covers. Second ball races away to the fence, straight down the ground.

ENG 8/0 (0.2)

Phil Salt and Ben Duckett are out to open for England. Mohammed Shami will open the bowling for the men in blue. 

England will need to pull off the second-highest run chase in T20I cricket history, and the highest in their history if they want to win this game.

One positive? Their highest T20I chase to date happened at this very stadium, the Wankhede! England chased down 230 against SA in the 2016 T20 World Cup.

247 may seem like a huge total, but England have a dangerous batting lineup. Not to forget, this belter of a Wankhede pitch. Phil Salt, Jos Buttler, Ben Duckett, Harry Brook, Liam Livingstone, dangerous hitters. This game is far from over.

What a player, what a knock. India made 247, 135 off them came in just 54 balls from the blade of Abhishek Sharma. Seven 4s, thirteen 6s!

Unreal, unreal knock. 

Ravi Bishnoi gets caught in the deep on the final ball. India finish with 247 in 20 overs. A huge, huge target in front of England.

IND 247/9 (20)

Axar Patel tries to pick up two, but doesn't make it back in time. India lose their 8th wicket. 250 looks difficult here, Ravi Bishnoi must get at least 3!

IND 247/8 (19.5)

Axar Patel given width and times it over extra cover for a boundary. India inching closer to 250. 

IND 246/7 (19.3)

Great 19th over by Mark Wood. Only 3 runs come off it. India on 240, with one over to go. Axar Patel and Mohammed Shami in the middle.

IND 240/7 (19)

Abhishek Sharma departs! 135 off 54 balls. Huge round of applause from the Wankhede. England players come over to shake his hand. The dugout are on their feet.

What. A. Knock.

IND 237/7 (18)

Highest-ever score by an Indian in T20I cricket! Abhishek up to 128, overtakes Shubman Gill's record of 126. Clears the ropes, with Adil Rashid into the attack.

IND 229/6 (17.2)

Axar Patel, classy! Hit straight for 4. Superb timing.

IND 219/6 (17)

Abhishek Sharma hits his 11th six! Most sixes by an Indian in a T20I innings. Not even Brydon Carse has been spared by the mightly left-hander.

IND 215/6 (16.5)

8 runs in 8 balls after the century, and finally Abhishek picks up a boundary! Hit hard, down the ground for 4.

IND 206/6 (16.2)

India were looking, and perhaps still look, well set for 250. But some quick wickets here have slightly derailed the run flow.

On a flat wicket at the Wankhede, every run counts.

IND 202/6 (16)

Rinku Singh departs cheaply. Three reds, shows the DRS review. Only one more recognized batter left in the lineup in the form of Axar Patel.

IND 202/6 (15.5)

Rinku Singh given out LBW by the umpire! The left-hander takes a review immediately. 

IND 202/5 (15.4)

200 for India in 15.3 overs! Jofra Archer has been handed his 4th over. Goes for a yorker, mistimes it, goes outside the leg-stump and Rinku flicks it for a boundary. 

IND 200/5 (15.3)

India reach 194, and have five overs to get to 250 and beyond! Abhishek Sharma undoubtedly looks a little more tired, so the onus is on Rinku Singh to go big here.

IND 194/5 (15)

Hardik Pandya with a helicopter shot-esque flick, timed beautifully, but straight at the fielder at deep square leg. Good field-setting by England, the tactic works. India lose their fifth wicket.

IND 193/5 (14.4)

India are motoring along towards 200! Hardik Pandya clears the ropes for the first time, over mid-wicket.

IND 193/4 (14.3)

Hardik Pandya walks in at No. 6 to a huge standing ovation from the Wankhede! Oh how the atmosphere has changed in the space of 12 months. 

IND 185/4 (14)

Hardik Pandya walks in at No. 6 to a huge standing ovation from the Wankhede! Oh how the atmosphere has changed in the space of 12 months. 

IND 185/4 (14)

Was that the commentator's curse? Short ball by Brydon Carse, Dube tries to hook it over fine leg, but finds Adil Rashid in the deep. A superb cameo from the southpaw. 

Third wicket for Brydon Carse!

IND 182/4 (13.2)

Hit hard, and hit for 4! So hard that the fielder at mid-off had no chance to stop it! 30 off 12 balls, Dube is eyeing his own fast 50 here.

IND 182/3 (13.1)

The ball crashes into Abhishek Sharma's toes. Umpire signals not out, but England have taken the DRS. Ball pitches outside leg-stump, and Abhishek survives.

IND 173/3 (12.4)

Abhishek may have missed out on the fastest century by a player from a Test-playing nation, but he has got another one. Reaching his ton in 10.1 overs, it is the earliest a player has reached a T20I hundred.

The previous record was held by Quinton de Kock's ton vs WI in 2023 at Centurion, which came in 10.2 overs.

Four and then six! Jofra Archer has endured a terrible night. Shivam Dube picks up his first runs.

IND 161/3 (12)

Shivam Dube has walked in at No. 5. A slight lull in the scoring rate, only 5 runs come off the 11th over. Decent over by Brydon Carse, who is now 2/14 in 2 overs.

IND 148/3 (11)

Suryakumar Yadav mistimes his signature shot, and is gone! The ball went miles up and Phil Salt took a terrific catch. A series to forget for India's T20I captain.

IND 145/2 (10.2)

100 for Abhishek Sharma in 37 balls! Five 4s, ten 6s. The Wankhede has been entertained to one of the best-ever T20I knocks by an Indian. Crazy knock.

IND 145/2 (10.1)

WOW. Abhishek Sharma 99 off 36, the others have slammed a fair few big blows as well.

IND 143/2 (10)

Two dots, and Abhishek Sharma reaches 34 balls on 94! Smashes a boundary right after, and then takes a single. 99 off 36!

IND 141/2 (9.4)

Good short ball by Brydon Carse, Tilak reacts late and gets a thick edge. Collected by Phil Salt behind the stumps.

IND 136/2 (9)

The record is in sight! Six more, Abhishek Sharma needs to score 6 more runs in 2 balls for the record of the fastest-ever century by a non-associate nation player.

IND 136/1 (8.5)

100-run partnership in just 6 overs between Abhishek Sharma and Tilak Varma. How does it come? Six off Abhishek's blade, of course.

Abhishek up to 85 off 28!

IND 126/1 (7.5)

The fastest T20I century by a player not of an associate nation is 35 balls, held jointly by Rohit Sharma and David Miller. Abhishek is 79 off 27!

21 runs in 7 balls? Can he do it?

IND 119/1 (7.3)

103 in 6.3 overs! Crazy, crazy batting. SIX to get there. 

Next ball, goes SIX again! Abhishek is 71 off 24, as it stands. WOW.

IND 109/1 (6.4)

India have smashed their highest powerplay score ever! 95 runs in 6 overs. Tilak Varma is now getting into the act! Two boundaries and a SIX, and he's up to 19 in just 7 balls.

IND 95/1 (6)

SIX, SIX and 50! Abhishek Sharma gets to his half-century in just 17 balls. Incredible, incredible hitting.

IND 67/1 (4.2)

India have gone past 50 in under 4 overs! Some incredible hitting from Abhishek Sharma. England don't have an answer!

IND 55/1 (4)

Abhishek Sharma is going berserk! Another FOUR! Down the ground, classy and elegant.

IND 48/1 (3.3)

Abhishek Sharma is on a roll! Two sixes to end the last over, and now a 4 off Mark Wood! The left-hander is 27 off 11 balls. 

The crowd is chanting "Abhishek, Abhishek"!

IND 44/1 (3.2)

SIX and SIX to end the 3rd over! Abhishek Sharma is going hammer and tongs! Jofra Archer concedes 18 off his second, after giving 16 in his first. 

IND 39/1 (3)

Tilak Varma has walked in to bat at No. 3. India not opting for a left-right combo.

Meanwhile, Abhishek Sharma continues the onslaught against Jofra Archer! Comes down the track and slams it through extra cover for 4.

IND 25/1 (2.2)

Oh dear! Sanju Samson was looking good, but he's gone. Aimed near the body, Samson gets tucked in for space, and times it straight to Archer at deep square-leg. Mark Wood strikes.

The new stance delivered, but not for long!

IND 21/1 (1.5)

Sanju Samson is using a different batting stance today. He has struggled against the short ball in this series, and is taking guard even beyond his off-stump today, on a fourth or fifth stump line.

It has worked so far. What a first over!

Sanju Samson has started off with a bang! 6 off the first ball, and then 6 and 4 to end the over. Injury? No problem for him it seems. New batting stance working wonders for Samson.

IND 16/0 (1)

Sanju Samson goes big again! Over fine square leg for 6 more! Sanju Samson using the pace and timing it well. Clears the ropes easily.

IND 12/0 (0.5)

Brilliant news for Team India! Sanju Samson has worn off the blow after some treatment, and returns to bat. 

IND 6/0 (0.4)

Sharp short delivery from Archer, and Samson gets a blow to his finger! Hits him smack bang on the glove, and he is needing some treatment here.

IND 6/0 (0.3)

THE FIRST BALL GOES FOR 6! Jofra Archer with the ball, England have two slips in place. Samson comes across his stumps and slams it over mid-wicket.

IND 6/0 (0.1)

Despite winning the series, India are not taking the 5th T20I lightly. Apart from the pacer change, the team remains exactly the same, at full-strength.

Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson have formed a powerful opening pair, but they haven't yet stitched a big partnership together in the series. Samson, in particular, has scored three single-digit scores in a row, and will be desperate to make this game count.

Here's India's XI for the 5th T20I:

Sanju Samson (wk), Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav (c), Rinku Singh, Shivam Dube, Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Mohammed Shami, Ravi Bishnoi, Varun Chakravarthy.

Here's England's XI for the 5th T20I:

Phil Salt (wk), Ben Duckett, Jos Buttler (c), Harry Brook, Liam Livingstone, Jacob Bethell, Brydon Carse, Jamie Overton, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood.

Jos Buttler was full-on tongue-in-cheek with his humour during the toss. In a sly reference to the concussion substitute saga, Buttler said that England have four impact subs for the match!

Mohammed Shami went wicketless in the 3rd T20I, finishing with figures of 0/25 in 3 overs. He will be hoping to strike early tonight, against an inconsistent but dangerous England batting lineup.

Harshit Rana could feel hard done by for not getting a place in the XI. He was at the centre of the concussion substitute controversy in the 4th T20I, but performed admirably under pressure, taking 3 big wickets.

Mohammed Shami is back! The 34-year-old pacer replaces Arshdeep Singh, and that is India's only change of the game.

Shami preferred ahead of Harshit Rana for this game.

England have won the toss and chosen to bowl! Mark Wood comes in for England.

India will be batting first.

We are just 5 minutes away from toss time! Don't go anywhere, as we bring you the LIVE updates from the India vs England 5th T20I.

We will switch our focus to a three-match ODI series right after this between India and England. Much-needed preparation for the two sides before the all-important Champions Trophy 2025!

Visuals of Hardik Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav warming up can be seen. Could that be a sign that the two senior stars will play despite India have wrapped up the series win?

Remember, we are at the Wankhede, a stadium Hardik and SKY call 'home' in the IPL.

Some star England batters have failed to fire so far in the series, with the biggest name being opener Phil Salt. 

0, 4, 5, 23 - Salt's scores in the series so far

Can he get a big one before the ODIs get underway?

Let's talk about Varun Chakravarthy. The mystery spinner has been in the form of his life, and has now become the very first Indian bowler to take 10+ wickets in two T20I series.

Varun has taken 12 scalps in 4 games in the series against England so far.

We are just half an hour away from the toss for the 5th T20I between India and England. Stay tuned to NDTV Sports for the LIVE updates from the game!

Harshit Rana showed nerves of steel with the ball in the 4th T20I, impressing with figures of 3/33 in 4 overs. If India decide to rest Arshdeep Singh again, will Rana be preferred over Shami for the pacer spot?

Hardik Pandya slammed a superb 30-ball 53 in the 4th T20I, but the injury-prone nature of the all-rounder is well-known. With the series wrapped up, will the management consider resting Pandya and giving a chance to a player like Ramandeep Singh?

Mohammed Shami looked rusty in the 3rd T20I, but will he get another chance after Harshit Rana's superb substitute performance in the 4th game? 

Remember, Shami is also present in the squad for the 3-match ODI series starting Feb 6.

Sanju Samson hasn't done well in this series either. After a quickfire 26 in the first game, Samson has made three single-digit scores. Can the wicket-keeper batter fire and perform well in this game, and truly show us what he's capable of?

India's T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav is in very poor form.

0, 12, 14, 0 - that's what his scores read so far in the series.

Can the once No. 1 ICC T20I batter regain his form tonight?

With the series win already wrapped up, India could try out their bench strength today. Ramandeep Singh could be brought in, and maybe Harshit Rana will get a full debut.

After this match, you will catch India's stars in a T20 game next in IPL 2025! New look teams after the mega auction, boy that will be fun!

India have wrapped up the series 3-1, with a game to spare. This final game will be India's last T20I before the Champions Trophy.

We started off the series at the iconic Eden Gardens, we're ending it at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai! Last time we were here, the internet was filled with images of Team India celebrating the T20 World Cup 2024 title!

A very good afternoon to one and all. Welcome to the LIVE coverage of the India vs England 5th T20I, right here on NDTV Sports.
