Among the players spotted arriving in Chennai were Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh, Hardik Pandya, coach Gautam Gambhir, skipper Suryakumar Yadav, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Dhruv Jurel, and Abhishek Sharma from the Indian side, and Jofra Archer, Gus Atkinson, Liam Livingstone, and Ben Duckett from the England team.
In the first match, England struggled with the bat, with only skipper Jos Buttler managing a significant contribution of 68 runs off 44 balls, as they were restricted to 132 in their 20 overs.
India's spin duo of Varun Chakravarthy (3/23) and Axar Patel (2/20), along with pacers Arshdeep Singh (2/30) and Hardik Pandya (2/20), were the standout performers with the ball.
In response, India's Abhishek Sharma stole the show with a blistering 79 off just 34 balls, including five fours and eight sixes, as he guided his team to a comfortable seven-wicket victory with 43 balls to spare.
Varun Chakravarthy was awarded the 'Player of the Match' for his impressive bowling spell.
