India set up a series decider with an eight-run win over England in an absorbing fourth Twenty20 in Ahmedabad.
He also took crucial wickets of Morgan and Stokes!!
Bowlers never get credit anymore. We saw it in the test series and again here in the T20s - whenever there is a low scoring game, the wicket/toss gets commented on but when runs are scored, batsman are applauded. This result shows that the bowlers in each 1st innings should have been given much more credit in the first 3 T20s. India played well today and have set up an exciting 5th T20!
We needed to keep wickets early on so at the end we can just slog the ball
But it was still fun to watch especially with a decider coming up

Let the excuses commence! Was it the pitch? Was it the lights? Was it the umpire? Was it the aeroplanes flying over the stadium. Also suryakumar was never out and the fielder clearly cheating, but let’s not mention that.
beaten at all three parts Bowling,Fielding & Batting today without their best bowlers.
World champs at Baseball? not in India next time round.

Well bowled India.
Many of England fans said Indian umpires were cheats but everyone saw who was the real cheat today. Despite that and despite losing the toss and missing two of the top guns Jadeja and Bumrah India beat the no.1 side. Bring on the final t20.
I didn't see anyone cheat. If you're referring to the Malan catch, I think he prob had a finger under it but people saying you know if you've caught it is nonsense. Remember Rahane taking a catch in test that he didn't claim but replay showed it was out?
That was poor umpiring, not cheating on Malan's part. How can he know while diving if that's a clear catch or not?? (And I'm an India fan for Pete's sake!! Athers even said the "soft signal" was NONSENSE!!!)
I wouldn't pay too much attention to those English voices that wind you up Ripper. It's nothing more than school playground histrionics from a noisy minority.
Brilliant from India in the End. Shardul Thakur with 3 critical wickets, Rahul Chahar with 2 wickets and decent fielding, showing why Yuzvendra Chahal(tutti) should be NOWHERE NEAR THE TEAM, and Bhuvi and Pandya brilliant with the ball! Sundar took two catches and did well in the field, and hopefully India, with starters resting up, will end up winning the t20 series!! Future's bright for India!!
For the Autumn WC in India, England need to replace Malan and Curran with Hales and Moeen to add batting depth
What a game, finally! We bowled poorly today. A rare off day in the field. Decider...
Poor England can't find a way to win despite winning toss and batting last with dew advantages. That too after selection bluders of egoistic, bad-tempered Kohli at the helm who can't ever choose a right team. What hope does England have against a full India side with Bumrah, Shami, Ashwin with Rohit Sharma in captain's seat?

Absolutely brilliant game of cricket! Outstanding bowling from India who set a really good batting score. Super exciting decider on Saturday! No need for England to panic, think 8 or 9 players are nailed on for WC. Sam Curran is out, bad fielder, batsman and bowler - Root way better at all 3 and Moeen at least 2. Staying with Malan but he needs a BIG decider match. Can’t wait for Saturday!
Agreed, I’m at a loss as to what Sam Curran brings to the team.
Malan probably get cited for cheating ??
I agree about Sam Curran, I would prefer Sam Billings but that would leave us thin on the bowling.
Yup ! Can't wait for Saturday. Not so sure about Daly playing Centre, but we'll see....Oh, wait - did you mean Rugby 6 Nations or the pointless pyjama crap ?

A very poor pitch and again the umpires have had a mare. Changing the balls when we are hitting bourndaries and it appears bowling down the leg side is not a wide when England are batting.
Like I said, those umpires are keeping this series interesting.
Oh well, if winning is that important...............

Ooooooh, nearly choked on that one.
Best result for the good of the game, takes it to a decider.
More great performances from the new young Indian players. If they ever select on merit rather than seniority, we're for it.

Also shout out to Suryakumar Yadav with a half-century and both Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant with quick 30's to get the total to 185!!
Still going to whinge about umpiring. Not today because no matter how wrong they were as long as it is in your favour it doesn’t matter. The ball had clearly touched the ground. Try to accept that sometimes it goes against you or in favour but please don’t start complaining of bias as soon as it goes against

No English fan will talk about sportsmanship and umpiring today, because Malan claimed a catch he didn't take and umpires gave it.
I think this is more down to how umpires are directed to resolve appeals. It used to be that the benefit of any doubt was granted to batsmen, but directing umpires to declare a "soft signal" of out.not out negates that benefit. If there is doubt in the onfield umpire's mind that doubt should automatically be in favour of the batsman and any "soft signal" to the 3rd umpire should be "not out".
Whatever happened to the concept that cricket was a gentleman's game where honesty and not sportsmanship took precedence?
Players of all countries should be ashamed of themselves. They are setting bad examples to all; that winning is more important than playing fairly.
Poor show by all.

Lets face it, If you are not white you are not correct. Having resided here for 40 years, I know them so well. I could write a book on how many times the Indians were cheated out of a win due to home umpires here in England and Australia. Yes I failed the Tebbit test.

It’s the “soft signal” which is odd. Hard for off field umpire to overturn. ‘Let’s go upstairs cause I don’t have a clue but I’m guessing (soft signal) it’s out.’
Malan’s Twitter feed will be ugly- but he wouldn’t have known the ball hit the ground diving forward at pace
That's sport.

Too bad the close umpiring decisions went against England, else England would have surely won!
well done India, class performance, showing you can defend a total if you get enough. England Didn't in the second match. Looks like a great finale.
A thoroughly professional job from India.
Loss the toss, posted a decent score then
had to bowl second and contend with the dew. India had a plan and kept to it, the bowlers were magnificent!
Great performances from Yadav, Chahar and Thakur.
Lose the toss... win the game????
The win is important but more so is the experience of bowling second and winning!
Game on... can’t wait for Saturday!

Cheating umpiring once again, clear wide down the leg side when Morgan was batting not given, and over head height when Curran was batting also ignored.

Very close, but neither one of England's two finishers could finish it off today.
Also, someone finally managed to defend a score.
Game 5 should be a cracker.

Make no mistake, India won because Kohli was missing in the last few overs and Rohit was captaining the side. Rohit keeps a cool head and that is why he is such a successful captain winning 5 IPLs while Kohli is a dud. Kohli should take this as a sign and step down if India wants to give themselves a chance to win the world cup.
You serious ripper? Rohit almost lost it with crowding Thakur and not being able to control Pandya.
Kohli the most successful captain currently playing international cricket? If you say so....
Agree with this post. Kohli's style makes him a great batsman but not a great captain. But no one in the Indian side has the courage to confront him or ask him to step aside for another bloke to take over captaincy.
Kohli is probably more like Ganguly. Highly motivated with a lot of passion, enthusiasm, confidence and aggressiveness. 2 decades ago that was like a breath of fresh air. Nowadays, it means very little.
The duds were Stokes And Morgan for playing one shot when they could have won it.Butler not so fluent todaynot consistent
Spot on. Kohli is a very poor captain. His DRS reviews are a joke. His behaviour is disrespectful. His constant berating umpires unacceptable.
Not going to happen
Kohli is a God king and could lose a couple of limbs before being replaced
India have so much form on worshipping "legends" and picking them well beyond their "use-by" date
Sachin being the best example - a shocking average in his last 4 years of international cricket

What are the salty bitter sour English gonna use today as their excuse for getting beat. The light was too dark, too light, pitch was too fast, too slow, too bouncy, too flat, the ball was too this or too that, the umpires were too this or too that. Whatever English we won ! Onto the decider ????
The umpiring was again poor in this game, in fairness. Don't think Malan caught that and there was a dreadful wide called off Jordan, I think.
No idea why the 3rd umpire took so long with some of the decisions either. The Roy stumping appeal was clearly not out so why take 5 minutes looking at it?

Good game of cricket.
Suryakumar Yadav looked every bit as good in his debut innings as we thought he would on evidence of his exploits in the IPL. Another promising talent.
Chasing 180+ is difficult in a T20, and I think it’s possibly because England’s middle order didn’t have enough match time in previous games that they were found wanting when they were given the job of taking it home.

What's happened to player honestly in the game. Malan must have known he picked that ball off the grass. He would be more respected by coming clean.
Just like Stokes did in one of the Tests, knew they didn't take the catch cleanly but still tried to cheat by claiming it. However Stokes didn't get away with it but sadly Malan did so today - however justice was done in England not winning the match!
Why should he? With all the technology why does he have to say anything? And we've seen enough instances anyway to know the players don't always know.
Yes, that was very poor by both Malan and the umpire who gave the "soft dismissal". No way should that have been given out,
There is no way he would have known, at that speed you can never really tell as a player if it has carried. Also, the problem with these catches is that they always look like they have touched the ground because of how the zoom works. I guess that is why there is a soft signal, because the technology isn't 100% accurate at picking it up.
Someone said after England won the last game that form is temporary but class is permanent. So true.
I was the one!
As an English fan it's my job to give good advice to all England fans. So here is a ready-reckoner for finding an excuse whenever England loses.

It was a good game today, Dr. Your guys deserved the win although it got a bit closer in the end than I thought it would after Stokes was out.
Why did it take England 2 hours to bowl the 20 overs? When 20/20 started teams had 75 minutes to bowl their allocation, with penalty runs added for any incomplete overs.
Also, why is Sam Curran playing?

Because he had a good IPL. No idea why Morgan is bowling him 12 overs into the innings, though. Curran should bowl with the new ball or not at all.

That puts to bed the purists theory of win the toss and the game. We, England did not have five reliable bowlers. Three on the night . India won that fair and square.
Can't blame the umpiring for this loss - all the doubtful decisions went England's way.

Like I said we need neutral umpires to get a true reflection of where we are at at the moment.
The umpiring is substandard but today I could not believe what I was watching.
It ruins the game for me, and the pitch was like something I was batting on in Gran Canaria, on their beaches, before covid took that pleasure away from me.

Where was Surya Kumar hiding all this time ?. Can't believe he wasn't even in the Indian squad till now !
Suryakumar is one to watch for. He will play all 3 formats. Mark my words!!
England fans' ready-reckoner for finding an excuse for a loss.

These two teams were racing to lose the game. Can they play any worse?
Be glad China and US do not play cricket

No English fan will talk about sportsmanship and umpiring today, because Malan claimed a catch he didn't take and umpires gave it.
Can you not just praise your own team for winning or did you not notice them ?
Poor England can't find a way to win despite winning toss and batting last with dew advantages. That too after selection bluders of egoistic, bad-tempered Kohli at the helm who can't ever choose a right team. What hope does England have against a full India side with Bumrah, Shami, Ashwin with Rohit Sharma in captain's seat?

What's happened to player honestly in the game. Malan must have known he picked that ball off the grass. He would be more respected by coming clean.
A thoroughly professional job from India.
Loss the toss, posted a decent score then
had to bowl second and contend with the dew. India had a plan and kept to it, the bowlers were magnificent!
Great performances from Yadav, Chahar and Thakur.
Lose the toss... win the game????
The win is important but more so is the experience of bowling second and winning!
Game on... can’t wait for Saturday!

What caused England's loss today?
(1) Bad pitch
(2) Bad umpiring
(3) Bad weather
(4) Bad food
(5) Bad crowd
(6) Chahal's poor fielding
(7) Thakur's poor fielding
(8) Kohli's bad behaviour
Let's vote!

Exactly. How could Malan know it was picked off the grass, while he's diving to get to the ball?
Because its cheating.
Sam Curran is a loose part, play Topley
Neither Curran should be anywhere near this England team, in any format.
Joe Root should take his place.
Do you remember in the World Cup final when Joe dismissed Gayle and Lewis in the first over of the game with his spin.
That is how we should be operating.

A very poor pitch and again the umpires have had a mare. Changing the balls when we are hitting bourndaries and it appears bowling down the leg side is not a wide when England are batting.
Like I said, those umpires are keeping this series interesting.

They almost bottled it at the end, had the cheating umpires given us those two wides England would have won comfortably, but tbh it sets up a decider so we'll let them off this time, wonder what pitch they'll go for on Saturday, black, red, yellow, blue?
or not wrongfully dismissed Yadav, India's total may have been 205, instead of 185!
What a pathetic comment - are you serious??? Had the "cheating umpires" given the two Indian batsmen not out, then India would have won by even more than they did. Face it - the better team won.
Green like the jealousy in your face maybe?

Duggers, don't be a sour grape and report my comments because you cant handle it.
Can't blame the umpiring for this loss - all the doubtful decisions went England's way.
Agree. That's why we need to refer to this ready-reckoner for finding the excuse for today's loss.

Today's loss?
Indian's posted a decent score and England wasn't able to chase it down but we did get close.
2 all on to the last.
Simple really.

Hi Maggie,
You posted back to me after the last game, saying why do some mock Kohli and be negative, which was fair comment, but this post of yours is just throwing fuel on the fire and mocking England fans. Please practise what you preach.
As for me, I thought it was a good, tight game that India just deserved to win.

India 1.5billion, England 60 million. India-cricket number 1 sport. England- cricket number 6 or 7 sport. No wonder you celebrate when you beat the English minnows
Still going to whinge about umpiring. Not today because no matter how wrong they were as long as it is in your favour it doesn’t matter. The ball had clearly touched the ground. Try to accept that sometimes it goes against you or in favour but please don’t start complaining of bias as soon as it goes against
At least he could have shown signs of not being sure like rahane did but no he was so sure as if he had caught the ball 10 metres off the ground
also a new word "Chahaled"
Which is to be a pretentious spinner who's busy stinking up the field to the point of being dropped!!!
Also "Akmalled" which is a fat, unfit cricketer who drops catches and misfields ad nauseum, from Lahore, Pakistan!! Removed

Make no mistake, India won because Kohli was missing in the last few overs and Rohit was captaining the side. Rohit keeps a cool head and that is why he is such a successful captain winning 5 IPLs while Kohli is a dud. Kohli should take this as a sign and step down if India wants to give themselves a chance to win the world cup.
Ripper is right though. Mumbai Indians have won the most IPL's thanks to Rohit's captaincy, while Kohli as a captain, has been nothing but a dud over there.

Well bowled India.
Do you really even understand what the award was about. He got the wicket of stokes and morgs who could have won the match so he changed the match by that. Also leaving those 3-4 balls by him in the end he and other bowlers bowled really well with so much dew. So India played well and so did England by taking the game so close. Calling it horrendous!! Really
I don’t think I have ever read a positive comment from you Kate G F. Is everything ok?
"Within 4 feet wide of the wicket"? I am not sure Kate is your real name!
Trolling every single comment. You obviously don't like either team. Are you an Aussie?
I don’t have a problem with umpires taking their time, one angle can show x and another y, so why not check all of them!
If anyone should complain about the umpiring it should be the India. Two shocking decisions, Malan getting a grounded catch and Rashids foot on the boundary line.
True champions get on with it, they don’t complain like old women??

“England lost because our Batsman couldn’t trust what’s going on”
?? you crack me up you do!
What an earth is that excuse? Please come up with better ones
It’s a new one I give you that but poor
Did the batsman think sharks where going to come out of the pitch or something?

“ I have never seen umpiring like this to be honest”
What good umpiring?
If you haven’t seen anything like this maybe it’s the first cricket match you watching. You don’t have much experience with cricket then?
Don’t worry I am happy to help out with anything you struggling with regarding the game

Well done Thakur, not just because it was the last over, not just because Archer put him under pressure, but because he had to do it with Rohit and Pandya around him like clowns. I hope they look back and reflect
