The moment the cricket world was eagerly waiting for finally arrived on Saturday night when young batsman Vaibhav Suryavanshi made his debut in India's playing eleven. In this second T20 match between India and England, Team India won the toss and decided to bat first.
Vaibhav started his innings brilliantly, hitting a six off Jofra Archer on the fifth ball. However, he could not maintain this momentum.
Known for playing big shots without much footwork, Vaibhav tried to step out against Will Jacks but completely missed the ball. Wicketkeeper Jos Buttler made no mistake and stumped him for a personal score of 14 runs.
Indian Team Scored 190 Runs
After Vaibhav's dismissal, Abhishek Sharma and Ishan Kishan played innings of over 40 runs each. In the end, thanks to Tilak Varma's important contribution, the Indian team managed to score a respectable 190 runs for 7 wickets in 20 overs.
Chasing a target of 191 runs, the England team achieved the target losing 6 wickets. For England, Jacob Bethell played a brilliant unbeaten inning of 76 runs.
The Indian bowlers started well, sending two England batsmen back to the pavilion in the very first over. Captain Harry Brook also got out early, which made it seem like India would win the match easily.
But after that, Jacob Bethell built crucial partnerships with Tom Banton, Will Jacks, and Jofra Archer, leading his team to victory in the 19th over itself.
Bishnoi Expensive in Bowling, Axar's Record
In this match, Ravi Bishnoi proved to be India's most expensive bowler. He conceded 60 runs in his four overs. On the other hand, this match was historic for Axar Patel as he completed his 100 wickets in T20 Internationals. He has become the fourth Indian bowler to do so.
