5th T20I: Rohit-Virat, Bhuvneshwar masterclass help India hammer England, win series 3-2

India hammered England by 36 runs in the 5th T20I on Saturday in Ahmedabad to win the series 3-2. With the emphatic victory, Virat Kohli's men have extended their winning streak in T20I cricket to 6 series, a fine run in the lead up to T20 World Cup.

When India go 0-1 down in a series, opposition teams are going to be wary from now on. For the third successive time in international cricket, India scripted a memorable series win after coming back from behind. After losing the first T20I against the World No.1 English side, the Asian giants completed a 3-2 comeback in a 5-match series and walked away with the bragging rights. The series between the top 2 sides was perfectly set-up for a cracking finish in Ahmedabad on Saturday and it was India who emerged victorious, hammering England by 36 runs in the 5th T20I. With the victory, India extended their unbeaten series run in T20Is to 8 while England's unbeaten run of 5 away series came to an end. India have also won their last 6 T20I series on the trot, a run that started with a home series win against Bangladesh in November 2019.
