At the same time, young batsman Abhishek Sharma played an innings of 79 runs. The England team gave India a target of 133 runs to win, which Team India achieved easily. With this, Team India has taken a 1-0 lead in the series. After the match, Captain Surya has praised Varun and Arshdeep. 

Opened his heart in praise of Varun Chakraborty

After winning the match, India captain Suryakumar Yadav said that we want to play a little differently. The bowlers made a plan and implemented it correctly. Then the way we batted was the icing on the cake. We did the same in South Africa. Hardik was given the responsibility of bowling the new ball so that the extra spinner could get space to play. Varun Chakraborty's preparation is good. He keeps things very simple. This is what makes him different from others. 

Arshdeep is taking responsibility: Suryakumar Yadav

Suryakumar Yadav said that Arshdeep Singh is taking extra responsibility. He has experience and he is learning a lot. Gauti bhai (coach Gautam Gambhir) is giving a lot of freedom. We want to play a little differently from what we did in the 2024 T20 World Cup. We have a plan, we are batting the same way and are very happy with it. We are working really hard with the fielding coach in all the sessions. We are all working hard.
