Rajkot, Jan 26 (IANS) Suryakumar Yadav-led Indian team on Sunday arrived in Rajkot for the third T20I against England. The home team received a warm welcome in the city from fans, who were excited to see their star cricketers in front of them.
India lead the five-match T20I series by 2-0 after winning the second game in Chennai by two wickets on Saturday. Chasing 166, Tilak Varma’s unbeaten 78 studded with five sixes and four fours guided them home with four balls to spare in a thrilling contest at MA Chidambaram Stadium.
