After holding England to 147/9, led by the Tour of Five Wickt of Varun Chakravarthy, India allowed the tenth pair of Adil Rashid and Mark Wood from England to add 24 crucial races at the end.

Rashid and Wood added 10 races each when England managed to hit all 20 overs despite losing their ninth Wickt with 17 more balls for the end.

Chopra said Pacer Mohammed Shami, making his return to the colors of India after 14 months, did not play his full quota of four overs. He said Suryakumar could have given the ball to his veteran pacemakers to make sure the opposition tail withdraws.

“I feel that Suryakumar Yadav lost a trick. Shami should have been released four overs,” said Chopra, talking about his YouTube channel.

“The captain did not give him the room. He only gave one to death. He had the option of giving two. He could have done that because eight or nine Wickts had already fallen. There was no pressure on death,” Chopra reasoned.

Shami ended with 0/25 figures in three overs, and was even warned by the referee by bowling bowling at Mark Wood.

Chopra admitted that Shami looked “oxidized” and was not up to it.

“There was a difference of almost 8-10 kph between November 19, 2023 and January 28, 2025. So it seemed that it was a bit rusty. The pieces will have to prepare, then the vehicle will heat up and run quickly. I was running very fast in the first place and it seemed that it could take some time, “Chopra said.

Shami was taken to the XI instead of Arshdeep Singh, who was rested. It is also part of the Indian team for the next ODI series of three games and the Champions 2025 trophy.
