On Sunday, India sustained their dominance over England, registering a 150-run win in the final T20 International of the five-match series at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The series held significant importance for the players, giving them a golden opportunity to fine-tune their skills ahead of the IPL 2025. So, as the five-match T20I leg has been concluded, let's see how players from each IPL franchise fared in the series.
Mumbai Indians: Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya
Tilak Varma
Mumbai Indians' youngster Tilak Varma blew hot and cold in the England T20I series. Although he averaged 44.33 and struck 133 runs, including a math-winning 72*, at a decent rate of 131.68, Tilak failed to convert his starts twice, while registering a duck in the fourth T20I.
Suryakumar Yadav
Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav had a forgettable series against England. The explosive right-handed batter managed only 28 runs across five outings, averaging a mere 5.60 with the bat.
Hardik Pandya
India's experienced all-rounder Hardik Pandya showcased his incredible attributes in the England T20Is. Pandya was pivotal in India's clinical win in the fourth T20I, slamming a game-changing half century. Overall, he scored 112 runs, averaging 28 and striking at 138.27, while scalping five wickets with his medium pace bowling.

Shivam Dube
Swashbuckling batter Shivam Dube was impressive in the England T20Is, scoring 83 runs in two innings at an average of 41.50 and a blistering strike rate of 176.60. Apart from that, Dube looked sublime with the ball, scalping two valuable wickets in the final T20I in Mumbai.
Jamie Overton
CSK's other player Jamie Overton had a poor series with the bat, managing only 27 runs across five innings. Although he picked up seven wickets, his economy rate of 9.35 must've disappointed the Englishman.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Phil Salt, Jacob Bethell, Liam Livingstone
Phil Salt
RCB's hard-hitting opener Phil Salt looked a pale shadow of himself in the India T20Is, scoring only 87 runs at an average of 17.40. Although he registered three single-digit scores, Salt's blistering fifty in Mumbai promised a turnaround in the IPL 2025.
Jacob Bethell
On the contrary, Jacob Bethell, who bagged a lucrative IPL 2025 deal worth INR 2.6 Crores, was far from his best in the India series. The southpaw could amass 23 runs in three innings at a poor average of 7.67.
Liam Livingstone
Liam Livingstone, who is supposed to play the finisher's role for RCB, played a valuable knock of 43 runs in the third T20I. However, he did nothing significant apart from that innings, scoring only 74 runs at an average of 14.80 and a strike rate of 127.59.
Kolkata Knight Riders: Rinku Singh, Varun Chakravarthy, Harshit Rana, Ramandeep Singh
Rinku Singh
KKR's ace batter Rinku Singh blew hot and cold in the England series, scoring 39 runs, including a crucial 30-run knock, at an average of 19.50.
Varun Chakravarthy
On the other hand, KKR's lead spinner Varun Chakravarthy dismantled the Englishmen with his guile and variations, scalping 14 wickets in five innings at a superb strike rate of 7.
Harshit Rana
Harshit Rana, who was retained by KKR ahead of the IPL auction, played a pivotal role in India's emphatic win in the fourth T20I. Coming as a concussion substitute, Rana bagged three crucial wickets during the run-chase.
Ramandeep Singh
KKR all-rounder Ramandeep Singh didn't get a single opportunity to bat or bowl in the T20I series against England.
Rajasthan Royals: Sanju Samson, Dhruv Jurel, Jofra Archer

Sanju Samson
RR captain Sanju Samson was one of the worst performers in the series, scoring 51 runs at a miserable average of 10.20 and a strike rate of 118.60.
Dhruv Jurel
Samson's RR teammate Dhruv Jurel also had a torrid run with the bat vs England, managing six runs in two outings.
Jofra Archer
English speedster Jofra Archer looked sharp with the ball, troubling the likes of Samson with his pace and body-line bowling. However, Archer's overall numbers were unimpressive, as he could pick up six wickets at an economy of 10.30.
Sunrisers Hyderabad: Abhishek Sharma, Nitish Reddy, Mohammed Shami, Brydon Carse
Abhishek Sharma
SRH opener Abhishek Sharma performed admirably vs England, scoring 279 runs at an average of 55.80 and a strike rate of 219.69.
Nitish Reddy
SRH's premier all-rounder Nitish Reddy didn't get an opportunity, as he was ruled out of the series due to injury.
Mohammed Shami
SRH's ace pacer Mohammed Shami had a topsy-turvy series against England, managing three wickets at an ordinary economy of 9.09.
Brydon Carse
Premier English all-rounder Brydon Carse oozed his class with the ball in the series, scalping nine wickets in four matches. His hit-the-deck bowling was one of the major highlights in the series.
Delhi Capitals: Axar Patel, Harry Brook
Axar Patel
Delhi Capitals' prominent all-rounder Axar Patel was impressive with the ball, picking up six wickets at an economy of 7.07. However, he could've done better with the bat, as he could score only 37 runs at an average of 9.25.
Harry Brook
England's young batter Harry Brook had a poor T20I series against India, scoring only 91 runs at an average of 18.20. His woes against spin, especially the googly, was evident in the series.
Lucknow SuperGiants: Ravi Bishnoi
LSG's lead spinner Ravi Bishnoi didn't have a great start to the series. However, he made a remarkable comeback, scalping five wickets in the last three matches.
Gujarat Titans: Washington Sundar, Jos Buttler
Jos Buttler
England captain Jos Buttler had a good start to the series but he failed to conclude the T20I leg on a high note. Overall, Buttler scored 146 runs at an average of 29.20 across five innings.
Washington Sundar
India's spin-bowling all-rounder Washington Sundar disappointed the hosts in the series, picking up a solitary wicket and scoring only 32 runs in two matches.
