Dube smashed 53 off 34 deliveries as India set up a competitive total of 181/9. But there was an incident during the final over of India's innings when Dube was hit by a bouncer from Craig Overton on the helmet and thus had to leave the field due to concussion protocol. This decision has been heavily criticized as India substituted him with Harshit Rana - a medium-fast bowler but not an all-round replacement at all. Rana made a dream debut into T20Is, taking three wickets and conceding 33 runs from his four overs. His decisive breakthroughs such as that of Liam Livingstone, Jacob Bethell, and Craig Overton helped India bowl England out for 166.

With the win, India took an unbeatable 3-1 lead in the series going into the final match to be played at Mumbai. England captain Jos Buttler did not mince his words while commenting on India's decision, admitting that Rana was not the like-for-like replacement for Dube. Here is what Ashwin remarked “The game is done. India capture yet another series at home. T20I has been a real juggernaut of a win. What was this game? It was like a replica of the IPL. Supersub was there, and the game was played with an impact player,” Indian spin legend Ravichandran Ashwin has now publicly condemned the decision sternly, targeting both the match officials and the Indian team management for their handling of the matter. Speaking on his YouTube channel, Ashwin was not two-handed about his words while describing the rules as more akin to the IPL's Impact Player rule than an international cricket regulation. “The entire discussion is about how Harshit Rana came in as a concussion substitute for Shivam Dube. Did we forget that it was an international match and play an IPL match? I can understand. It has happened in the past. Ravindra Jadeja got concussed in Canberra, and Yuzvendra Chahal came in as a substitute. I don’t understand this. At least previously, Chahal came in for Jadeja, a spinner for a spinner,” the 38-year-old stated. He further cited the 2020 concussion substitution case in Canberra, where Yuzvendra Chahal replaced Ravindra Jadeja after the latter suffered a concussion. Ashwin said that at least in that case, a spinner was replaced by another spinner, which was a reasonable decision. Bringing in a pacer for a batting all-rounder like Dube seemed completely unjustified.
