India vs England 5th T20I Live Score: Mohammed Shami in; England captain Jos Buttler opts to field vs India
IND vs ENG Live Score, 5th T20I: India coach reveals who took the final call on concussion substitute
The selection of Harshit Rana as a “concussion sub” in place of Shivam Dube infuriated England captain Jos Buttler, but India’s bowling coach Morne Morkel defended the decision, claiming that match referee Javagal Srinath made the final call after they presented the young pacer’s name.
Head coach Gautam Gambhir skillfully employed the rules to substitute Mumbai all-rounder Rana, who bowls at early 120 clicks, for Dube, who reached a half-century, when Dube was hit by Jamie Overton off the penultimate delivery of the Indian innings.
“As far as I’m aware, Shivam (Dube) obviously took the knock on the head and when he came off the field during the innings break with mild headache symptoms, we took a name forward to the match referee in terms of a suitable substitution.
“From there it’s up to the match referee to make that decision,” Morkel replied when asked about the controversy surrounding Rana.
With a match remaining, the pacer helped India win by 15 runs in Pune on Friday night, capping the T20I series. He took 3/33 on his debut.
“Harshit (Rana) was having dinner, had to get himself ready as quick as possible to get onto the field and bowl and I thought he did an excellent job,” Morkel said.
When questioned about Buttler’s criticism of the replacement for not being like-for-like, Morkel avoided the subject.
“You know, it goes to the powers sort of above me (match referee).
“Match referee, he made the decision, you know, we can only take the name forward and from there it’s out of our hands. We got the green light to go with that and, you know, we gave it an opportunity,” he said.
The bowling unit’s consistency in execution has greatly impressed the former South African pacer, who joined the Indian team management prior to the home season.
“In our planning we do before games, everybody’s contributing in those conversations. But the main thing at the end of the day is to go out and execute,” Morkel said.
“And I think even if we’re under pressure with ball in hand, like tonight, you know, we were under pressure, defending a total there tonight, it was great character shown by this young group,” he said.
England got off to a fast start with 62 runs in Powerplay, but Varun Chakravarthy, Rana, and Ravi Bishnoi demonstrated their skills by defending a total of 181.
“The way we defended tonight, yeah, I’m just very proud of this team. You know, defending a 180 sort of total on a good wicket with a wet outfield is outstanding work.”
India vs England 5th T20I Live Score Update:In the highly anticipated 5th T20I match between India and England, England captain Jos Buttler has won the toss and elected to field first. This decision will put the Indian batting line-up to the test as they look to set a competitive total.
In a surprising move, Mohammed Shami has been included in the Indian playing XI for this crucial match. Shami’s pace and accuracy will be key in providing early breakthroughs for the Indian team.
Both teams are coming off impressive performances in the series so far, with the series currently tied at 2-2. The winner of this match will take the series and gain momentum going into the upcoming ODI series.

#India #England #5th #T20I #Live #Score #Mohammed #Shami #England #captain #Jos #Buttler #opts #field #IndiaInd vs Eng – ‘It is not a like-for-like replacement’ – Buttler after India sub in Rana for Dube
There was scrutiny around India’s move to bring on Harshit Rana as a concussion substitute for Shivam Dube during the fourth T20I against England, with England captain Jos Buttler saying after the match that this did not fit the definition of a like-for-like replacement. The television commentators who were on air at the time of the substitution – Kevin Pietersen and Nick Knight – had also questioned the swap. Dube did not take the field in the chase, after taking two blows on the helmet on his way to 53 off 34 balls.“It is not a like-for-like replacement. We don’t agree with that,” Buttler said after India completed a 15-run win. “Either Shivam Dube has put on about 25 mph with the ball or Harshit’s really improved his batting. It’s part of the game and we really should have gone on to win the match, but we disagree with the decision.”
Dube scored his half-century after walking in at 57 for 4 and stitched together a 87-run partnership for the sixth wicket with Hardik Pandya that allowed India to post 181 for 9. During his innings, Dube was twice hit on the helmet by a bouncer – first in the ninth over when he missed a pull off a Jofra Archer delivery that was measured at 146.8kph, and then on the penultimate ball of the innings off Jamie Overton’s 141.5kph bumper. It is not unusual for concussion symptoms to show up belatedly.
India had batting allrounder Ramandeep Singh on the bench, who might have better fit the definition of a like-for-like replacement for Dube. For a short while, Ramandeep came on as a substitute for Varun Chakravarthy.“He [Rana] is not the like-to-like replacement for Shivam Dube,” Pietersen had said on air. “You ask anyone in the world, and they will say the same thing. Dube is not a genuine pacer, but Rana is.” Knight also echoed these thoughts.
Rana, who was playing his first T20I, was brought into the attack in the 12th over and he struck with his second ball. He got a shortish ball to skid on and take the outside edge of Liam Livingstone, who had looked to guide it through third. Rana bowled his full quota of overs and picked up three wickets. He also was at short third to catch out England captain Jos Buttler, who walked back fuming and had a few words with head coach Brendon McCullum, perhaps at the approval of Rana as the concussion substitute.
“When Dube came back, two overs into the chase, I was told [about being the concussion substitute],” Rana said after the match. “I have been preparing for a while, not just for this series. I have been waiting for this moment [his debut] to prove myself. When I got the chance, I did not think of the circumstances and just thought about delivering. I have experience of bowling at the death [for KKR in the IPL] and relied on that.”
In the recent India vs England series, there was a lot of buzz around the decision to sub in Harshal Patel for Shardul Thakur. Jos Buttler, the England wicketkeeper-batsman, shared his thoughts on the substitution, stating that it was not a like-for-like replacement.Buttler emphasized that Rana is a different type of player compared to Dube, who was originally in the playing XI. He pointed out that Rana is more of a bowling all-rounder, while Dube is more of a batting all-rounder. Buttler noted that it was a strategic decision by the Indian team management to bring in Rana for Dube, based on the match conditions and team balance.
The England player acknowledged that such decisions are part and parcel of the game and that teams often have to make tough calls based on the situation. He also praised Rana for his performance in the match, highlighting his contribution to the team’s success.
Overall, Buttler’s comments shed light on the intricacies of team selection and the thought process behind making substitutions in cricket matches. It is clear that every player brings a unique skill set to the team, and it is up to the management to make the best possible decisions for the team’s success.
