India’s chase of 172 in the third T20I against England faltered as Hardik Pandya struggled in the middle overs, scoring 40 off 35 balls. Parthiv Patel slammed Pandya for taking 20-25 balls to get set, criticizing his dot-ball approach. Kevin Pietersen also criticized India’s batting order, suggesting Dhruv Jurel should’ve batted higher. England's spinners, led by Adil Rashid and Jamie Overton, choked India’s innings, as India managed just 40 runs in seven middle overs. Varun Chakravarthy’s 5-wicket haul restricted England to 171/9, but India fell short by 26 runs in Rajkot.
