The five T20I series between the India National Cricket Team and the England National Cricket Team concluded on Sunday (2nd February). The Suryakumar Yadav-led side emerged victorious by the margin of 4-1 as they were all over the opposition with bat and ball in all the games.
India National Cricket Team were forced to use the concussion substitute after all-rounder Shivam Dube was hit on the head while batting. With rules suggesting that like-for-like replacements will be allowed, it was expected that Ramandeep Singh would be entering the field and replacing Dube.
Following that, the India National Cricket Team faced massive criticism for not using the like-to-like replacement. Many experts said that the hosts played for 12 years, and even England National Cricket Team skipper Jos Buttler wasn't amazed at it as he expressed his frustration in the press conference.

We want to go as hard as possible and sometimes that cushion of having that No. 8 would free up the top 7 more - Gautam Gambhir
Gautam Gambhir also talked about the India National Cricket Team's strategy to play just one frontline pacer in the team. He said that they wanted to have the No.8 batter because they wanted to go as hard as possible, and it gives extra cushion to the top order. Gautam Gambhir said:
India won the fifth game of the series by a margin of 150 runs. They posted a massive total of 247 runs on the board with Abhishek Sharma slamming a brutal 135. With the ball, Mohammed Shami picked three wickets while Shivam Dube, Varun Chakravarthy, and Abhishek Sharma bagged two each as they bundled out the opposition for just 97 runs.
