Pune: The Indian cricket team may want to reconsider their 50-over template as they pick up bits and pieces from the Friday carnage to score a series victories hat-trick against England in Sunday’s third and final ODI.
On batting belts offered at Gahunje Stadium, England scored a staggering 20 sixes in a chase of 337 runs, which became child’s play thanks to the incompetent bowling of spinners Kuldeep Yadav and Krunal Pandya.

Captain Virat Kohli has never before missed Ravindra Jadeja as much as on Friday, when Jonny Bairstow and Ben Stokes took Mickey from India’s left arm and orthodox spinners.
In the bowling department, Kuldeep wrote an unwanted record, when he took 8 sixes, most of them from an Indian bowler. He leaked 84 runs in the second game after giving 64 runs in the first. And Krunal Pandya, who completed 72 runs in six overs with an embarrassing average of 12 per over.
Most likely, the duo could be replaced by leg spinners Chahal and Washington Sundar, who can also play with the racket if necessary.
From the team’s point of view, it would be impossible to ignore Chahal’s inclusion in the XI game, even though the Haryana legspinners weren’t in the best shape.
Pandya Senior would still make it to the team due to his hitting skills, but the apology of the left arm spin certainly prevented it from being considered as a long-term option.
In terms of batting, a total of 337 is certainly by no means bad, but perhaps India can now strategically postpone the innings building process expect.
The Men In Blue are the only team that always believes in accelerating in the final 15 overs, an assist given by their famous former captain n Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
It has worked on most occasions, but recently, with a world title, England has shown the world that attacking the front chutes is the way forward.
It could only help that Rishabh Pant and Hardik Pandya change the course of the innings in the back-10 with their kind of power-hitting.
Skipper Virat Kohli, who scored two consecutive 50 plus points, would like to wear his form and convert the start into a really big sum and end the drought of the century.
« I’ve never played 100 in my life, that’s probably why I’ve gotten so many in such a short amount of time. »
« It works just about contributing to the team. If the team doesn’t win when you have three numbers, it doesn’t mean anything. You won’t sit back and look at the numbers at the end of your career, it’s more about how you played the game. «
Hardik would continue to play his role as finisher, but there remains a question mark as to what kind of workload management is taking place, considering he seldom bowled except for a few overs in the recently completed T20 International.
While India would go ahead with spearheaded Bhuvneshwar Kumar, they could try working with left-armed Pacer and York specialist T Natarajan in case they want Shardul Thakur to rest for the game.
There could also be a choice between Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna, although Prasidh’s pace is an advantage for the hosts.
In the meantime, England would be strengthened by Friday’s performance and the biggest positive result would be the return of form from Ben Stokes, who is otherwise on the whole Tour had problems several times.
Next Sunday it remains to be seen whether India will win the game, there could not be a better gift on the eve of the Festival of Colors Ho li be.
