Their main hacking weapon was abandoned. a beginner pacer, the other playing only his second international. Add to that, the County Ground at Bristol, with short straight boundaries, had traced a flat track. Yet, the Indian bowling unit delivered in the game Twenty20 crunch to seal the series 2-1.
Prior to the series, India lost its main bowling weapon, Jasprit Bumrah, due to injury.
