Congratulations to team India and all Indians
Superb & extraordinary performance by team India. 199 was never an easy target to chase, however, the way Indian batsmen started the innings truly top-class performance. It's a big paradigm shift for Indian team temperament. The way they used to respond earlier days VS now. When Top class century from Rohit was an attraction, we can not neglect Hardik Pandya contribution from bat and ball both. Classic team effort.

Rohit might not be as consistent as Virat but he is a much better match winner than him in limited over formats. When he doesn't play, he doesn't, but when he plays than the result often would be 3 hundred in T20 and 3 double hundreds in ODIS.
I saw an advertisement today morning of Rohit Sharma that moment I thought Rohit gonna do something very special in today's game and look what he did. Prediction level infinity :D

Even though we Won, It's a really worst decision to drop Kuldeep, Just because even though sometimes our wrist spinners go wicketless. With their skills, they go with economical spells even on a belter of a pitch. Which ultimately makes the difference of 20 runs less for the opposition and could well be the deciding factor for our Team to win.

Yes I agree with you on 2 points. Firstly it was a strong performance from the bowlers to restrict England to under 200 when you consider that at the half way point England were set for at least 220. India took the moment into their innings and won comfortably in the end.
Secondly, it was a very strange decision to drop Kuldeep. Maybe the coach and captain were influenced by the colour of the pitch.
