India ka T20I tour of England ek bhoolne layak anubhav ban gaya. Southampton mein khele gaye aakhri match mein England ne India ko 56 runs se hara kar series 4-0 se apne naam kar li — matlab poori series mein India ko ek bhi match jitne ko nahi mila.
Is haar ke peeche sabse badi wajah rahi Jos Buttler ka dhamakedar shatak. 35 saal ke Buttler ne 3 saal baad apna pehla international century jada, jismein unhone 8 chhakke lagaye — captain Harry Brook (95 not out) ke saath unki 233 runs ki partnership ne T20 format ka record bana diya.
England ne 257/3 ka bada score khada kiya, jo is format mein unka doosra sabse bada total tha. Jawaab mein India sirf 201/8 tak hi pahunch saka, halaki Sam Curran ne 3 wickets lekar England ke liye control banaye rakha.
Is jeet ke saath England ne T20 world rankings mein bhi top spot hasil kar liya hai, vahin reigning T20 world champion India ke liye yeh series bhula dene layak rahi. Ab team management ke saamne bada sawaal hai ki ODI series mein kya badlaav kiye jaayenge.
