With the series being level at 1-1, both India and England will aim to gain advantage in the third T20I, scheduled to be held at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Tuesday.
Eoin Morgan's side drew first blood by winning the opening T20I by eight wickets while Virat Kohli and Co bounced back to clinch the second match by seven wickets.
Ishan Kishan, making his debut for India, was the star of the show in the second game as he smashed 56 off just 32 deliveries, which included five fours and four sixes. Kishan's knock and skipper Kohli's unbeaten half-century ensured India chased down the target of 165 with 13 balls to spare.
Shardul Thakur was impressive with the ball, taking two wickets for 29 runs in his quota of four overs. Washington Sundar also had two wickets to his name.
England's Jason Roy scored runs again but none of the English batsmen could hit a half-century.
"I suppose the difference was in the wicket we played and how we adapted. It was a different wicket from the one we batted in the first game. The pitch was slow and low and one thing that does is expose our weakness on these surfaces a little bit," skipper Morgan said after Sunday's match.
Kohli was mighty impressed with the way Kishan took charge and played an impactful knock on his debut.
"Special mention to Ishan. I tried to do what I can but he just took the game away from the opposition. Quality innings on debut. When you play in the IPL with such dominance like he has, against quality bowlers."
