  • Bumrah is congratulated by teammates after the final over.

    India beat England by five runs in a thrilling encounter to level the three-match T20I series 1-1 at the VCA Stadium, Nagpur on Sunday.

    The visitors needed just eight runs to win off the final over, but some splendid bowling from Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah saw them score just two.

    Ashish Nehra also starred for India with the ball, picking up three wickets while KL Rahul top scored with 71 on a pitch where most batsmen struggled to get going.

    Indian legends Sachin Tendulkar, VVS Laxman etc. hailedย the efforts of Nehra and Bumrah while former England batsman Mark Butcher noted that it was a day for the bowlers.

    There was also praise for Rahul, with commentator Harsha Bhogle calling him a ‘special player’.

    Here, we collect all the top Twitter reactions from the match.
