Mithali also defended her decision to drop Ekta Bisht, the player of the match in the first ODI, for Rajeshwari Gayakwad.

Mithali was also all praise for Shikha Pandey.
Bisht starred with the ball with figures of 4 for 25 as Indian spinners made England dance to their tunes.
Kaur has been ruled out of the ODI series against England due to an ankle injury.
