Virat Kohli and Co defeated England in the fourth T20I by eight runs on the back of some fine bowling by all-rounder Hardik Pandya and a sparkling first international half-century by Suryakumar Yadav.

With Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar having a big impact in the series, Haryana all-rounder Rahul Tewatia is the only one in the squad left to make his debut and that could happen on Saturday.
