"India look a really strong unit from the top to the bottom. If you look at the changes from the first T20I to this one (second T20I). You could have easily played that team and the result would have been similar.”

India have won both of the matches while bowling second, Bhuvneshwar Kumar has been getting swing with the new ball and is providing wickets in the powerplay. In both matches, Indian bowlers gave a good start to powerplay in the Indian team. Hosts have also started batting with an aggressive mindset and it has worked very well for them. Giles backed India’s new approach in the shortest over. 

"You look at that bowling attack, it was incredibly strong,” he said about the bowling unit.

"You got to keep pressuring bowlers. Some time bowlers can have their days but no matter how many wickets you lose you have to keep going and get as many runs as you can and this India side is more capable of doing that.”
