ENG vs IND | Ashley Giles terms India a 'T20 powerhouse' following the visitors' thumping victory in Edgbaston

The former England spinner Ashley Giles has lavished praise on the Indian team's performance in the ongoing T20I series. 

After India's dominating victory in the second T20I, Giles reckoned that the current Indian T20 team is a powerhouse of talent. 

He also added that even if the experienced players had not been called, the result would be on similar lines. 

"It's a real powerhouse T20 team India have available," Giles told 'ESPNCricinfo'. 

"India look a really strong unit from top to 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,"  he added.

Giles highly applauded India's aggressive approach with the bat throughout the innings. He emphasized keeping the opposition under pressure at any cost during the game and regarded the Indian batting unit as more than capable of doing the same. 

"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 than capable of doing that," Giles said. 

The Indian bowling unit has been magnificent in this series, dismantling the solid English batting lineup in both T20Is. Giles, who represented England in 116 international matches, also called India's bowling attack incredible. 

"You look at that bowling attack; it was incredibly strong," Giles concluded. 

On July 9 (Saturday), India posted a total of 170 and defended it successfully against the Englishmen to take an unassailable lead of 2-0 in the three-match series. 

Both teams will square up against each other on July 10 (Sunday) for the third and final fixture of the T20I series.
