1. In a high-octane finale at Southampton, Jos Buttler’s career-best 131 and Harry Brook’s 95* powered England to 257/3, the highest T20I total ever chased against India. The record 233-run second-wicket partnership shattered norms, while India’s bowlers; Axar Patel, Prince Yadav, debutant Suryansh Shedge; were left shell-shocked. Chasing 258, India’s brave knocks from Ishan Kishan (56) and Tilak Varma (53) weren’t enough. With Shreyas Iyer’s captaincy still finding footing, India’s consistency in T20Is has hit a rough patch. England, on the other hand, exudes confidence; especially with Buttler and Brook batting like men possessed. This isn’t just a series loss; it’s a symbolic passing of the torch in T20 cricket’s new era. The rankings may shift, but momentum? That’s harder to reclaim.
