Speaking during post match interview Suryakumar Yadav said, "A little bit of relief. The way the game was going, we felt 160 was good, but the way they bowled, it was good that the game went down to the wire. Very happy with the way Tilak batted, something to learn for everyone. It's good to see someone take responsibility. He (Bishnoi) will be on my head for a few more days now (chuckles). Ravi Bishnoi is putting hard work in the nets; he wants to contribute with the bat.

Following the win in Chennai India have 2-0 lead and can pocket the series when the action shifts to Rajkot. While England look to keep the series alive, the Men in Blue will be looking to wrap up the series giving coach Gambhir and skipper Suryakumar Yadav to test bench strength in the last two matches of the T20I series.
