India’s emphatic 4-1 series win over England was a testament to their aggressive, fearless brand of cricket, with head coach Gautam Gambhir praising his players for adopting a high-risk, high-reward approach. Gambhir emphasized the team's intention to regularly post 250-plus scores in T20Is, recognizing that such an aggressive strategy would occasionally lead to lower totals but ultimately set them up for greater rewards in the long run. India’s mindset to keep attacking, regardless of the situation, was evident throughout the series, especially in the face of challenges. Even when England’s Saqib Mahmood rocked India in Pune, reducing them to a difficult position, the Indian batters never backed down, ultimately posting 181/9—a total that proved too much for the tourists to chase.
 

In the final match in Mumbai, despite wickets falling at one end, Abhishek Sharma's explosive 135(54) helped India set a record-shattering total of 247/9, their fourth-highest score in T20I history. Gambhir expressed his satisfaction with the aggressive approach, saying, “That’s the kind of T20 cricket we want to play. We don’t want to fear losing a game. We want to play high-risk, high-reward cricket.” He further emphasized that while they aim for big totals like 250-260, they understand that some games may end in disappointing scores, but this is the nature of T20 cricket. The focus is on staying fearless and sticking to the aggressive mindset, particularly as India looks ahead to major tournaments.
 

Another key factor in India’s dominant performance was Varun Chakravarthy’s exceptional spin bowling. The mystery spinner became an unsolvable puzzle for the English batters, topping the wicket-taking chart with 14 scalps at an impressive average of 9.85 and an economy rate of 7.66. Gambhir lauded Chakravarthy’s evolution from IPL star to international sensation, noting that his ability to bowl on batting-friendly surfaces and perform in tough situations made him a standout performer throughout the series.
