The Suryakumar Yadav led Indian cricket team has been in great form in the ongoing Ind vs Eng T20 series. Team India began the series with asserting win in the first two matches in Kolkata and Chennai. Although the Men in Blue lost the one in Rajkot, but, they registered a great win in the 4th T20I in Pune.

The 4th T20I in Pune will be remembered for the controversial concussion substitute of Harshit Rana. Rana was subbed in for Shivam Dube after the all-rounder was hit with a bouncer in the 1st inning. Later, Harshit went on to take 3 wickets on his debut match as India won the match by 15 runs.
