England vs India T20I series: Report Card of Indian Cricketers

#3 KL Rahul (Inn: 3 Runs: 126)- 9/10

KL Rahul left the spectators spellbound with his innings in the first T20I

Creaming the ball to all parts of the ground at will, KL Rahul dispatched the English bowlers in the opening game of the series.

Coming at No. 3 while chasing eight runs in over, Rahul took off right from the word go as he put the bowling attack under the pump.

With an exquisite strokeplay, which proved the batsman's worth at the top of the order, he registered his second T20I hundred as India cruised home to victory.

Rahul, however, couldn't quite repeat his heroics in the succeeding two matches of the series.

#4 Virat Kohli (Inn: 3 Runs: 110)- 8/10

Virat Kohli made vital contributions to the team's score in the final two games of the series

Having been restricted to play an anchor's role towards the finishing stages of the first game, Virat Kohli was entrusted to play much bigger roles in the other two games.

While the Indian skipper stood as the top scorer in a rather paltry total in the second game, he complemented Rohit perfectly in the final match and weaved together a match-winning partnership.

Leaving apart a few "tactical" blemishes spotted by the critics in the second game, Kohli was also hailed for his captaincy, especially for sending in Rahul ahead of himself in the batting order.

Suresh Raina (Inn: 1 Runs: 27)- 6.5/10

Suresh Raina got just one opportunity to bat in the entire series

A jam-packed top order meant that Suresh Raina had to be slotted in the middle order of the batting line-up in the series. Also, with the top order batsmen doing the majority of the scoring, Raina was presented with only one opportunity to bat.

Coming in at a precarious 22-3 in the second game, the southpaw joined Kohli to steady a sinking Indian ship and lay a platform for putting a respectable total together.

Scoring 27 off 20 balls, Raina got off to a decent start but failed to kick on and play a match-winning knock for the team.
