England managed to clinch a vital victory in Rajkot, with Adil Rashid's outstanding bowling performance significantly contributing to their 26-run win over India. Rashid's figures of one for 15 were pivotal, especially following a dramatic batting collapse where England lost five wickets for just 19 runs. Ben Duckett's earlier contribution of 51 runs helped set a target of 172, which India fell short of due to effective English bowling. Despite Hardik Pandya's late effort, England's varied bowling attack, led by Rashid, secured their first win of the tour, reducing India's series lead to 2-1.
Rashid's exceptional performance helped secure England's crucial win; his ability to control the game was a reminder that slow delivery can be just as impactful as pace.
Chakravarthy's extraordinary figures of five for 25 completely disrupted England's batting order, showcasing his prowess after being known primarily from the IPL.
