IND vs ENG: Twitter Reacts As Jos Buttler’s Brilliant Knock Guides England To An 8-Wicket Win

IND vs ENG: Jos Buttler’s unbeaten 52-ball 83 and some pretty poor bowling from India has helped England beat India by eight wickets in the third T20I to take a 2-1 lead in the five-match series.

England, on Tuesday, thrashed India by eight wickets in the third T20I at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad to take a 2-1 lead in the five-match series. Jos Buttler was the show stealer as he smashed an unbeaten 83 while chasing 157. He opened the inning for the visitors and stood on crease till the very last.

India got the early breakthrough with the ball when Yuzvendra Chahal dismissed in-form Jason Roy for 9 in the fourth over. However, the hosts failed to maintain their dominance as Buttler and Dawid Malan put England in the driver’s seat with a 58-run stand. Buttler was in a red hot form and kept hitting the ball whenever he got the chance, while Malan also welcomed the opportunities.

Buttler completed his 11th T20I fifty in just 26 deliveries courtesy a single off Hardik Pandya in the 9th over. Malan top-edged a six on the very next delivery as the partnership crossed the 50-run mark.

Malan’s 17-ball 18 struggle against spin finally came to an end as he got stumped in the next over bowled by Washington Sundar to give India a much-needed wicket. But England easily managed to recover after a fall of wicket once again with Buttler and Jonny Bairstow (40*) sharing an unbeaten 77-run stand to take their team home with ease.

Earlier in the game, skipper Virat Kohli led from the front and smashed a stunning fifty to guide India to a competitve total. Offered to bat first, India were off to a disastrous start thanks to Mark Wood, who dismissed the opening batsmen – Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul. The first batsman to be dismissed was KL Rahul, who was knocked over by a pacy delivery which seamed back in.

Chris Jordan then sent back Ishan Kishan for just 4 to reduce India to 24 for 3 in the 6th over. Kohli and Rishabh Pant stopped the rot but before they could lay the foundation for a big total, the latter was run-out for 25.

However, Kohli remained unbeaten on 77 in 46 balls with 4 sixes and 8 fours to his name at a strike rate of 167.39. India made 156/6 thanks to his second consecutive half-century.

Mark Wood finished with figures of 3/31, while Chris Jordan took 2/35 for England.

The cricket fraternity was all praises for Kohli’s captain innings and taking India to a fighting total.

Poor start, poor fielding, toss, ordinary bowling on a wicket that was helping spin. Except the Virat masterclass nothing really worked for India against a superb England T20 unit. To game 4. Again I would say india will make a comeback and level it 2-2.

Let's be honest… India is NOT winning the #T20WC with their current catching and fielding standards. #IndvEng

What looked like a 120 total for #TeamIndia turned to 150 odd due to the sheer brilliance of King @imVkohli !I think this might one of the few times when @hardikpandya7 played second fiddle in a partnership! Thoroughly enjoyed the knock & those back 2 back 6s! #INDvENG pic.twitter.com/FiaoZNPqBd

This has been a masterclass from Virat Kohli. If you're a young batsman anywhere in the world, watch this innings again but with a notebook and a pen. #INDvENG pic.twitter.com/VjKQcdWzmj

Captain rocks. With the unbelievable talent and mind game, he dominated English bowlers. @imVkohli @BCCI #INDvENG

156 then. AND something very special from Virat Kohli.

Game on!!!

Have to admire Kohli’s tenacity, ambition, and of course also his batsmanship. At 86-5 in the 15th over, India were in the dumps. He’s given his side a fighting chance

Another class performance from @imVkohli paaji… 🙌🏻 Maza aa gaya dekh ke. #IndvEng
