England allrounder David Willey was miffed with India pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar who stopped in his delivery stride in the final over of England's innings.

The Men in Blue now have the chance to wrap up the T20I series early on this tour and another win in Cardiff will give them an unassailable 2-0 lead.

A dumbfounded England team have now turned their focus to counter Kuldeep by using a spin-bowling machine, known as Merlyn, which will help mimic the chinaman's unique variations and skills.

India stand on the cusp of a sixth successive T20I series' win -- a run stretching back to their 2-1 win over New Zealand at home in November 2017.

Kuldeep is very difficult to pick and his wrong 'un hasn't been easy and I hope he can keep working on it, says Kohli.

There was nothing in my head. I never bowl looking at who the batsman is. I always try to do what I can do - Kuldeep Yadav

Kuldeep's scalps included three wickets in his third over when he had Morgan caught in the deep and Jonny Bairstow and Joe Root stumped by MS Dhoni for golden ducks.

KL Rahul scored his second T20I century to guide India to an eight-wicket win against England in the first T20I at the Old Trafford, Manchester.

India demolished Ireland by 143 runs to clinch the two-match T20I series 2-0 at The Village, Dublin.

Skipper Kohli, Pandya, Rahul, Dhawan and Karthik were seen enjoying a sunny day out ahead of the 2nd and last T20I of the two-match series which India lead 1-0. Take a look. 

Kuldeep said the wicket was batsman-friendly and turning a little, however, that little was enough for wrist-spinners like him.

India thrashed Ireland by 76 runs in the first T20I at The Village, Dublin, to take a 1-0 lead in the two-match T20I series.

One thing the Irish should keep in mind before they take on the No.3 ranked T20I team, is that the players are still in red-hot form from the recently concluded IPL 2018.

The formidable spin duo was full of praises for captain Kohli, saying that he always backs spinners in the team and tries to boost their confidence.

While Team India chinaman Kuldeep Yadav is banking on Brazil to clinch the World Cup this year, boxer Akhil Kumar and golfer Rahil Gangjee want Ronaldo's Portugal to surprise everyone.

The match gives the think-tank an opportunity to check on some of the key components in their combination before the series against England.

Karthik was all praise for what the war-ravaged country has achieved on the cricketing arena but reminded rival captain Stanikzai about why Indian spinners are far ahead of T20 sensations like Rashid and Mujeeb.  

Sunrisers, who lost to Chennai Super Kings in Qualifier 1 at Mumbai will get a second chance to reach the summit clash against KKR on Friday.

Kuldeep said he was determined to turn things around in front of the Australian spin legend, who is the mentor of Rajasthan Royals team.

Opener Chris Lynn and captain Dinesh Karthik scored 45 and 41 runs (not out) respectively as Kolkata Knight Riders thrashed Rajasthan Royals by six wickets.
