India won the series, but one controversial moment changed the game!

Harshit Rana took three crucial wickets on his controversial debut as a replacement due to concussion, helping India beat England by 15 runs in the fourth T20I.

India scored 181/9 after powerful half-centuries from Hardik Pandya and Shivam Dube, despite Saqib Mahmud taking a hat-trick in one of the overs. England replied with 166 runs, losing the series 1-3.

The main scandal erupted after Dube was hit on the head and replaced by fast bowler Rana, angering England captain Jos Buttler.

Despite the controversy, India managed to pull through thanks to effective play from Ravi Bishnoi (3-28) and Axar Patel, who stopped the English attack.
