Team India's new-ball bowler Arshdeep Singh was spotted dancing as the national side received a grand welcome on their arrival to Rajkot ahead of the third T20I against England on Tuesday. In a video surfaced on social media, the cricketers were bestowed with garlands as they made their way to the team hotel.
The Men in Blue went 2-0 up in the five-game T20I series against England at the M.A Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Saturday as they chased down 166 with four balls to spare. Tilak Varma's unbeaten 72 off 55 deliveries after coming in the second over of the innings was the bedrock of India's sensational run-chase.
Below is the video of how Team India's stars were welcomed in Rajkot:
"Good to see we are playing aggressive brand of cricket" - Suryakumar Yadav
Skipper Suryakumar Yadav acknowledged after the win in Chennai that England pushed them to their limits, something they had not expected. The veteran was all praise for Tilak and feels other batters can learn from him the way he played.
"A little bit of relief. The way the game was going, we felt 160 was good, but the way they bowled, good that the game went down to the wire. We have been playing with an extra batter for the last few series. That batter gives us two-three overs. The chat was to play like the last game. Good to see we are playing aggressive brand of cricket, at the same time, guys put their hands up and stitched the small partnerships. Very happy with the way Tilak batted, something to learn for everyone."
A win in the third T20I will seal the series for the hosts.
