India (247/9) crush England (97) by 150 runs in the 5th T20I to seal the 5-match series 4-1

Oh no...Eng is 90/8.

Sincere apologies for misunderstanding you brother @sweep_shot as you were right, England indeed is not playing with full intensity.

:sorry:kp
 
Indian spinners have been all over England throughout the series. But England is not a poor side they'll match India blow by blow outside of India
 
Hahaha 2nd wicket for Dubey.

This is for cry Baby Buttler.

Hopefully Ravis shastri will ask some taught questions to Cry baby Buttler in the Post match presentation.

:kp
 
What if I say India got lucky playing them on a rank turner in semi final in west indies. We know West Indian conditions are very similar to sub-continent
This pitch is a road and dew is making Even hard for spinners.

No more excuses

:kp

India beat England in England in back to back T20 sereis. what would you say that? Infact SKY almost pulled off a win scoring 117 in 55 balls at tunbridewells. Still won the series.

That was a much weaker England bowling attack. Wood Archer Rashid etc are far superior bowlers.
My point was this England side is good they'll do much better outside of India
 
This current Indian T20 team hasn't been genuinely tested.

They played Bangladesh, depleted South Africa, depleted England etc. They are yet to face any heavyweight bowling attack in an ICC event or in bilaterals.

Mumbai tends to be high-scoring. This is the same ground where South Africa scored 438 in an ODI and beat India by 214 runs.

:qdkcheeky
High scoring ground where England got bowled out for 97? Wow. What a bowling attack
 
I think India has a lot of scope to fine tune this unit. India needs more multi skilled players. ENough with these specialists. India never plays freely with "specialist one dimensional" players
 
the only reason india won was because jamie smith was injured,he played only 1 game and eng won that game.

ur team has only tullas and bits and pieces players except tilak

Those tullas just have to be slightly better than opposition. But here they were 100 times better than the opposition. We should have a tier 2 cricket in T02 and move England to that tier lol Losing 5 series in a row is pure embarrassment.

Bro How does australia play so well vs india where as england just loose like minnow both are heavy pace bowling australian fast bowlers always get the better of india how?
 
TEAM IPL finally have something to cheer about after losing 6 out of 8 recent Tests.

They may get knocked out from group stage in the upcoming CT. So, they may want to celebrate this victory to the fullest.

Always? Lol Didn't they get the similar pasting from the aged India unit in the WT20, 2024?
 
Amount of salty posts are staggering lol Why are you crying guys every time your "adopted" team fails to beat India. Just appreciate the good and hope your "actual" team learn from this team.

Ya i know they won who can forget india got thrashed by australia in home final i am talking overall australia play much better than england does maybe australia even nz know india weakness more than england who knows.
 
India are building a fearsome T20I batting unit

A top 4 where anyone can make a 50 ball 100

Abhishek - 2 centuries
Sanju -3
Tilak -2
SKY -4
(backup Gill, Jaiswal and Gaikwad - 1 century each)

Closers like Hardik, Rinku, Riyan Parag who can play situation or go boom

Spin hitters like Dube and Axar and grooming guys like Sundar, NKR for future.

Teams like Bangla, Pak and SL are being left behind in T20I batting. No T20I batter from these three teams would today make the first XI of any of Aus, Eng, NZ. In India they would not even make the third XI where old school consolidators like KLR and Iyer would outstrip them.
 
Biggest win margin for India in T20Is:

168 runs – vs New Zealand, Ahmedabad, 2023
150 runs - vs England, Wankhede, 2025
143 runs – vs Ireland, Dublin (Malahide), 2018
135 runs – vs South Africa, Johannesburg, 2024
133 runs – vs Bangladesh, Hyderabad, 2024

What does that imply?
 

Abject England suffer record T20 defeat in India thrashing​


Abhishek Sharma smashed a scintillating century as India thrashed England by 150 runs in the fifth T20 in Mumbai to seal a 4-1 series win.

The 24-year-old opener blasted 135 from 54 balls - the highest score by an Indian batter in a T20 international - including 13 sixes and seven fours as the hosts reached 247-9.

Chasing a near insurmountable target, Jos Buttler's side crumbled in their reply and were skittled for 97 in 10.3 overs to suffer a record defeat by margin of runs.

Having been put into bat on a good surface at the Wankhede Stadium, India blew England away in the powerplay - reaching 95-1 after the first six overs.

Abhishek reached his fifty from 17 balls, then powered on to reach his century in 37 deliveries - the third fastest in a match between Test-playing nations.

He hit his 13th and final six, another national record, one ball before he was finally dismissed, caught on the cover boundary by Jofra Archer off Adil Rashid.

Phil Salt did his best to keep England up with the required rate, hitting 55 from 23 at the top of the order, but no other batter passed 10 in a dismal chase.

India seamer Mohammed Shami took 3-25, while Abhishek claimed 2-3 from his single over, removing both Brydon Carse and Jamie Overton.

Mark Wood was the last batter to fall, caught behind on review, with England ending their first white-ball series under coach Brendon McCullum with one of their heaviest defeats.

As i said in other thred NZ & Austrlaia are better with strategies. They maximize their resources. You need super brilliance to take them down.

Ya now you got my point bro if you see that world cup australia played with lone spinner zampa majority of work was done by their fast bowlers even maxwell got the important wicket of rohit thats what i am saying people were saying australia should have picked more spinners since world cup is in india but in the end with limited resources they still won the world cup.
 
Time for SKY to become an earth and play some ranjhi games to get his form back... this way he is just wasting one playing spot in Indian team.

He will come good. In this current Indian T20 squad there are multiple players that can play his role and style of play. He is confused and unable to match the striking ability of others. He will settle down and understand his role eventually.

Sky also needs to be less predictable with his shots. Everyone knows that his strength is legside flicks. They are deceiving him by bowling slower balls on his pads. His timing is affected by slower deliveries and he is ending up getting caught at deep square leg.

You have to say little bit of luck also plays its part. On that tacky Ahmedabad surface batting second was a massive massive advantage as we have seen it in IPL many times. India should have prepared a road. That was the best chance for India to take Australia down. Cummins was rarely effective in India. But that slow paced wicket allowed his cutters work. Also India's biggest problem last 10 years is weak tail. Because of that they shut the shop down after 3 wickets down. That is what happened. In T20 world cup they played 8 batsmen. It allowed them to keep attacking.

India is a tournament side even at their worst form. But to be brutally honest this unit is not one of those units that will click in tournament. Age has caught up with several players. They get trolled by random domestic bowlers. If you rank the best batsmen available in India i don't see Kohli, Rohit, Rahul figuring in the top 10 list. Even within his state Rahul is not the best batsman. There is this guy Samran who is making waves and even discarded Agarwal is better than Rahul.

Excellent post.

You can see the confidence of top order going into beast mode from ball -1 as they know that they bat deep with Axar coming at no.8. There is no slowing down at any point of time.
Other than Varun and Shami, everyone can bat including Bishnoi who can hit big if needed. You can count on him to score 10 runs minimum if needed. It was not the case in the odi wc. The team was not balanced with oldies hogging all the important overs and the tail that cannot bat.
 
Even despite 1-4 thrashing there are some positives for Eng.

Carse, Jofra and Wood is a gun pace attack which can threaten even on dead pitches. Throw in guys like Overton, Livingstone and Bethell and their ODI team looks a lot more solid than the team that got embarrassed in 2023.

I do not think their batters will be so troubled by opposition spinners in ODIs where there is no major pressure of going for sixes or release shots.

If the pacers all stay fit they have strong point of difference to front up against top sides.

ODIs are a different ball game and Kohli and KLR are still world class batters who can adapt to tempo of game. Overall the batting will be fine and has been reinforced with Hardik and Axar coming in for SKY/Jaddu

Problem is still that it ends at #7. If all bowlers fit India will have to pick #8-11 who cant bat or else bite bullet and play both Axar and Jadeja in playing XI which cuts bowling strength.

But we saw Kohli's struggles against spin in Srilanka. Rohit is boom or bust. In current state he is more bust. His reflex is worse than last year.
 
Kolkata - Smog
Chennai - Too Hot
Rajkot - No complaints (no guessing who won)
Pune - Not Like to Like (dube came back to get 2 wickets next game)
Mumbai - ??

what’s the excuse tonight lads?

India just being a bad ass like they have been since jan 1, 2024. Played 31 won 28.
 
Just to illustrate how brutal this Indian batting unit is


Since Jan 1, 2024

Leaving out zimbabwe/ireland and other associate sides to get reasonably accurate picture

That is impressive six hitting by India Almost 10 sixes per match. To go with that 15 fours per match.

Either way guys like ABhishek will become millionaires faster than guys like KRaigg Brathwhite. Poor guys. Shai hope belatedly started realizing what is important in cricket. Now it is too late.
 
So, when are they going to come up with T30 format? They could've finished the series by now, instead of switching to ODIs.
 
That was some brutal performance! Peaking at wrong time in wrong format though :)

I also believe they may get a reality check in CT.

It is one thing to smash English bowlers (who were in picnic modes) at home. It is another thing to smash top bowlers during an ICC event.
