Eoin Morgan said that he was delighted by the reception given by cricket fans in India to the England players.

England lost the second One-Day international (ODI) against India by 127 runs at Kochi on Tuesday.

Morgan said that "pressure will always be there" on India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni as he has to shoulder the burden of expectations of a billion people.

"I think he (Dhoni) is always going to be under pressure.

He is the captain of India. He has 1.2 billion people on his shoulders. He is a captain of a massive nation. The pressure is always going to be there. Being back in his home town might even give him some pride to play for," Morgan told the mediapersons here on Friday.
