It was the big wicket of Jason Roy who was smashing the Indian bowlers to every corner of the ground. Deepak Chahar playing his maiden T20I bowled a short ball as Roy nicked it to Dhoni. Roy had smashed 67 off 31 to take England’s score over 100 within 10 overs. India dropped Kuldeep Yadav in the match due to the green cover on the pitch. However, it did not favour the pacers as they found no swing in it.
