Indian batsmen had little to offer in the face of a regimented English bowling effort on a two-paced track as the hosts received an 8-wicket hammering in the opening T20I in Ahmedabad on Friday. Indian batsmen struggled to score freely before Shreyas Iyer showed the way with a dogged 67-run knock that took Virat Kohli's men to 124/7. England then comfortably chased down the target with 27 balls to spare.
