England Beat India By 8 Wickets In 1st T20I, Lead Series 1-0

England thrashed India by eight wickets in the first T20 International here at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Friday. India 124/7 in 20 overs (S Iyer 67, J Archer 3/23, A Rashid 1/14, M Wood 1/20) lost

Kohli blamed a "below-par batting performance" by his side.

"There was a lack of execution of some of the shots. We have to come back with much more intent and clarity of plan. The wicket did not allow you to play the kind of shots you wanted to," he added.

The second T20 between the two sides will be played at the same venue on Sunday.
