IND vs ENG

That's it from us. Hope you enjoyed our coverage. There's the ODI leg of the tour starting on Thursday. Do join us for that. For now, this is Pradeep and Bala signing off. Goodnight!

Suryakumar Yadav receives the trophy from Roger Binny and the team has the moment in the limelight, lifting the trophy! The series was closer than what the final scoreline says. England came into the final T20I having lost a couple of close games, but it was a complete demolition job tonight. You have to just try and forget when you have such a bad day in the office. Abhishek Sharma had a terrific tournament. Varun Chakravarty has elevated his T20 stocks substantially during the course of the series. Brydon Carse had a decent series for England. Plenty of positives for both sides coming off the series, and certainly some areas of concern. All said and done, India has won the series convincingly with a margin of 4-1.

Suryakumar Yadav (India captain): "It's always about being a little instinctive on the ground, whoever you feel might do something, throw them the ball. This is what we've sat down and spoken about, what brand of cricket we want to play, and we keep sticking to it. It's a high-risk, high-reward game, but at the end of the day, we're getting the results. (On Abhishek Sharma) I'm very happy for his family as well, they must have enjoyed his innings. It was great. (On Varun Chakravarty) He's been relentlessly working hard with our fielding coach Dilip sir, whenever he gets time in our practice sessions. Today he put his hand up and said he wants to field in the outfield, and you saw the results. He's a process-oriented man, always wants to work on something new.

Varun Chakravarthy (Player of the Series): "Happy that fielding drew some applause. I've been working with the fielding coach, it's paying off. If you see, this is the best i've bowled. Lots of scope to improve. I didn't take them for granted. It was the matter of bowling the right ball at the right time. Very special, like to dedicate it to my son, my wife and may parents. I'd like to thank Surya and GG for backing me as well.

Abhishek Sharma (Player of the Match): "It's a special one. Coming for the country, it's a great feeling. Told this before, I just try to go from the first ball. The way coach and captain treated me, they always backed me, that was a special thing for me. When the opponents, they are bowling 140, 150. You have to be ready. That was the plan, to react to the ball quickly and play my shots. When you are hitting a world-class bowler over covers, it is a special shot, but the shots against Adil Rashid was special. He (Yuvraj Singh) should be (happy). He always wanted me to bat till the 15-20 overs. Even Gauti (Gautam Gambhir) paaji wanted the same."

Jos Buttler [England captain]: We're disappointed to lose the series, we've done something good and we can get better. Little bit of both, fantastic side, especially at home, it's great to experience such crowd. Some of the bowling performance, even today Wood and Carse were outstanding. Abhishek Sharma, I've seen quite a lot of cricket, I thought that was as good as batting as you see in T20 cricket. [About Root's performance in SA20] Great guy to welcome back into the side. It is, it's getting closer and closer to T20, great series and looking forward. 

Shivam Dube: Feels great, when you contribute as an all-rounder which I was doing from a long time, got the opportunity and I delivered it today. The wicket was amazing to bat on, we enjoyed batting on it. Abhishek told me the wicket is very good, play your shots. We were already on the top, didn't want to bring the run-rate down, went after the bowlers immediately. Working with my new coach, Morkel, he has helped me with new angles, got the opportunity today and that helped.

England 97/10 (10.3 overs)
Phil Salt 55 (23) | Jacob Bethell 10 (7)
Mohammad Shami 3/25 (2.3) | Abhishek Sharma 2/3 (1)

The target of 248 was always a tall mountain to climb, but England succumbed to the pressure of scoring rapidly and folded out for just 97 runs, handing India a humongous victory of 150 runs. In T20 terms, it cannot get bigger than this. 

Phil Salt started with a bang, scoring 17 runs off the opening over. He remained the sole batter among the Englishmen who could offer any semblance of scoring here at Wankhede. It was a procession back to the pavilion at one end as Salt continued to find boundaries at the other. He ended up hitting the fastest T20I half-century by an England batter against India. But the second highest score of the innings was 10 made by Jacob Bethell. That pretty much sums up their batting efforts tonight.

The two wickets in quick succession by Varun Chakravarty and Ravi Bishnoi towards the end of the powerplay more or less broke the back of the chase. England needed their top-order to fire in order to reach anywhere close to the target, but once they lost three in the powerplay, their chances were more or less out of the window. 

Varun Chakravarty had another incredible night, dismissing Liam Livingstone right after the powerplay. And once Salt fell to Shivam Dube, the final nail was in the coffin. Mohammad Shami was brought on to do the clean-up job in the end, and he did that without much fuss. A convincing victory for India to put it in mild terms.

10.3 Mohammed Shami to Mark Wood, OUT! LOUD APPEALS FOR CAUGHT BEHIND, NOT GIVEN! Nothing from the umpire, means it has brushed something along the way. SKY reviews. Back of a length, angled into the hips of the batter. Wood misses the swipe. Jurel diving to his left, collects it and goes up immediately.

Wood gets a faint tickle of the glove as confirmed by UltraEdge and that is that! India absolutely thrash England in this final T20I game. Lot of smiles in the Indian side, plenty to ponder for England as they head into the ODI's now!

10.2 Mohammed Shami to Adil Rashid, OUT! STRAIGHT UP IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! Shami with his first wicket of the game. Short into the batter, Rashid looks to pull but skews off the top edge. Jurel settles under it and takes it comfortably. India one wicket away to complete the annihilation here.

Adil Rashid c sub (Dhruv Jurel) b Mohammed Shami 6 (6b, 1x4, 0x6)

10.1 Mohammed Shami to Jofra Archer, OH! In the air, but falls just short of Rinku. Back of a length on the off-stump, Archer belted it away. Rinku runs in from deep mid-wicket, stops it.

Ben Duckett had to wait for two full overs to get on strike, but his innings wouldn't last for more than a solitary delivery. Watch how Mohammad Shami got rid of the left-handed opener.

9.6 Shivam Dube to Adil Rashid, bangs in the short delivery, Rashid looks to pull that one into the on-side, but top edged it to clear Hardik at mid-off, they come back for a brace.

9.5 Shivam Dube to Adil Rashid, FOUR! Clean strike from Rashid. Back of a length outside the off-stump, Rashid hammered it straight over the bowler's head, one bounce into the ropes.
