In the Hyderabad T20, India, riding on a brilliant knock from skipper Virat Kohli, registered their highest-ever successful run-chase in T20s as they chased down the 208-run target with 6 wickets in hand.
 
The Indian skipper would be impressed with the way his players performed with the bat. However, the hosts were sloppy in the other two departments and will be desperately hoping of better performances in bowling and fielding in Thiruvananthapuram.
 
Team India dropped many catches and were found wanting on the field -- something which they would want to improve in the second T20. On the other hand, the visitors -- as Kieron Pollard said after their defeat in Hyderabad -- need to improve their bowling.
