Buttler Blitz: England Crushes India in T20 Stunner
11 Jul
Summary
- Jos Buttler scored 131, the highest T20I individual score against India.
- Buttler and Brook's 233-run stand is the second-highest partnership in men's T20I history.
- Axar Patel conceded 63 runs, marking the most expensive spell of his T20 career.
Jos Buttler delivered a masterclass in the fifth T20I, smashing a career-best 131 off 64 balls, including 12 fours and eight sixes. This monumental innings stands as the highest individual score ever recorded against India in T20 Internationals, propelling England to a commanding position.
Buttler, alongside Harry Brook who remained unbeaten on 91, orchestrated England's highest-ever T20I total against India. Their formidable unbeaten 233-run partnership shattered existing records, becoming the second-highest for any wicket among full-member teams in men's T20I history. It surpassed the previous second-wicket record of 210*.
The Indian bowling attack found no answers to England's relentless assault. Axar Patel's spell of 0/63 in Southampton proved to be the most expensive of his T20 career, highlighting the visitors' struggles. Despite already conceding the series, India failed to contain England's potent batting lineup.
