It takes just one mistake to break a good stand, and England would be ruing with the fact that they threw a good start away. First, Ben Duckett was guilty of running out of Phil Salt, and later, the southpaw wasted his good start by getting out on 32 in the first ODI against England in Nagpur. After getting to solid to 75 for no loss, the visitors slumped to 77 for three wickets.
Duckett was the culprit for Salt's dismissal as he was ball watching while his partner was desperate to run second run. However, Salt could not make it as Shreyas Iyer threw the ball as tracer bullet. Next up, Duckett departed as Jaiswal took a blinder of a catch to dismiss the southpaw packing.

If those two wickets were not enough, then Harry Brook's nightmarish tour continued as he was dismissed by Harshit Rana for a duck. Yet again, Bazball crashed to earth, as Rohit Sharma & Co continue to outclass the visitors by not crumbling under pressure.
Harshit Rana sizzles on debut and picks up two wickets
For now, one name would be giving England nightmares, and that is Harshit Rana. After coming in as a concussion sub in the fourth T20I against England, Rana again gave England jitters, this time as full player by dismissing Salt and Brook in quick succession. It was not a fairy tale start for the 23-year-old fast bowler as he was clobbered for 26 runs in an over by Salt.
However, Rana came stronger after that assault as he took two quick wickets and brought India right back into the contest.
