India draw first blood against England

#4 Mixed bag for the Indian seamers

CRICKET-T20-ENG-IND

The pitch was flat, the sun was blazing down, the conditions were dry, nothing was in the corner of the fast bowlers, but despite all this, the Indian seamers had a rather mixed bag out in the centre.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar did not threatening and sprayed the ball around places and only in his final over did he look anywhere close to what we expect of him.

In his four over, he gave away 45 runs and got no wickets in return.

On the other hand, Umesh Yadav was on point and after a rather indifferent start, he came back strongly and picked up not only two wickets, but also gave away just 21 runs.

Hardik Pandya was sedate in his quota of fours and gave away 33 runs and picked up just a solitary wicket.
