ENGLAND captain Jos Buttler questioned Harshit Rana being parachuted in as a concussion substitute after the fast bowler helped India to a T20 series-sealing victory in Pune.

Rana collected three key wickets after replacing Shivam Dube, who batted for one more ball after being struck in the helmet by a Jamie Overton bouncer but was deemed unfit to field in England's chase.

Dube is a batting all-rounder and Rana a genuine quick bowler but while rules state any change must be like-for-like, match referee Javagal Srinath, a former India international, approved the switch.
