3rd T20I: India look to seal series against England in Rajkot

On a roll after recording back-to-back victories in Kolkata and Chennai, India will be aiming to seal the five-match T20I series against England when Suryakumar Yadav & Co take the field for the third game at the Niranjan Shah Stadium in Rajkot on Tuesday.

While India's struggles in the longer formats (Tests and ODIs) are evident in recent times, the team has had a flawless run in the shortest format with Suryakumar Yadav's men winning 26 of their last 28 T20 international matches and are on a 10-match winning streak at home.

The upcoming third T20I against England will not only offer the home side to extend their winning streak but also help them pocket the series, and continue SKY's unbeaten series run since taking over from Rohit Sharma as India's full-time skipper of the format after the victorious T20 World Cup campaign in the Americas last year. While Suryakumar Yadav has hardly put a foot wrong as captain of the side, his individual form has dipped.

The year gone by was the least productive for arguably the world's best T20 batter as he totalled 429 runs in 17 innings at an average of 26.81.
