Team India posted a huge score in the first innings of the series decider at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The visitors initially won the toss and elected to bowl. Virat Kohli and Hardik Pandya stitched a quickfire 50 partnership to power India to a huge total. Kohli has also registered a half-century for India, along with Rohit Sharma. Rohit was dismissed by Ben Stokes. Meanwhile, Adil Rashid took the wicket of Suryakumar Yadav. 

In the end, it was a fantastic batting display by the Men in Blue who have posted a massive, massive total in the series decider. Few of the shots Rohit Sharma played were simply breathtaking, especially his straight drives, his favourite pull and the nonchalant flick that he played to bring up his 22nd fifty in T20I cricket. When the two top-order batsmen departed, is when Virat Kohli shifted gears and here he is with his highest T20I score as an opener. Hardik Pandya played the way he is known for as India have a big score to defend.
