Stokes was promoted up the order in the first two ODIs and he roared back to form in the second outing smashing 99 with 10 sixes.

Morgan went through a fielding drill at the start of training at the MCA Stadium on Thursday before declaring himself unfit.

Eoin Morgan unleashed his fast bowlers Mark Wood (3/31) and Chris Jordan (2/35) to restrict the hosts for 156 for six, which the visitors surpassed easily in 18.2 overs, riding on Jos Buttler's unbeaten 83 off 52 balls

England wicketkeeper Jos Buttler named the favourites for this year's T20 World Cup, which is scheduled to take place in India in October-November.

Buttler has been in the eye of storm for going home after the first Test against India. He is now back in the country for three months to compete in the white ball series and will stay till the end of IPL 2021.

Also coming back is IPL franchise Chennai Super Kings' all-rounder, Sam Curran, who was rested for the Test series.

In 2012, Cook's men beat a formidable Indian side, including the likes of Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Virat Kohli, Sachin Tendulkar, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, 2-1 in its own den in a four-Test series.

Buttler also said that having played in the IPL would help the England players get an understanding of the bowlers and their bowling actions, especially Jasprit Bumrah.

Buttler's comments made it clear where the team stands on Jonny Bairstow being rested for the first two Tests of the upcoming four-match series against India.

While a lot many justifiable names were part of the lists, there were a few too many surprise omissions and selections made by ICC, one of the major omissions being the absence of Pakistan players from the Test and T20I team, for which they have received flak from across the globe.

Chopra went with Glenn Maxwell and Kieron Pollard as his two all-rounders and selected Rashid Khan as the sole spinner of his side.

This was second successful run-chase for Rajasthan Royals in back-to-back games with Ben Stokes starring again with a half-century.

In five IPL matches that he opened this season, he has scored 110 runs in 103 balls and is yet to score a six. And his strike rate of 106.79 is the least among all batters who have faced more than 100 balls this season.

Rajasthan Royals will return to action later tonight when they take on the Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2020.

Rajasthan Royals are still in a do-or-die situation as they need to win all their remaining games to be in the run for the play-offs and Jos Buttler remains a vital cog for the team.

On Monday, Rajasthan secured a comfortable seven-wicket win against CSK and kept their chances afloat of making it to the playoffs.

After Royals spinners stifled Chennai Super Kings to stop them at 125 for five, Buttler came up with an unbeaten 70-run knock off just 48 balls to lead his side to a comfortable seven-wicket IPL win on Monday night.

Rajasthan Royals later shared the picture on Twitter with the caption, "Holding No. 7, while on cloud 9."

Buttler on Monday said that he batted with more intensity while scoring an unbeaten 70 off 48 balls against Chennai Super Kings (CSK)
