Ishan Kishan Continues to Shine Off the Field
While Kishan remains one of India’s most exciting wicketkeeper-batters, his latest interaction has once again highlighted his caring nature away from the game. The viral video has become one of the most talked-about off-field moments of India’s England tour, earning admiration from fans across the cricketing world.
What Happened in Last T20I?
Jos Buttler smashed a majestic 131 to lead England to the top of the world rankings with a dominant 56-run win over India in the fifth T20 at Southampton. Buttler produced a vintage innings of touch and power following a relatively barren run, recording his highest score in a glittering T20 career.
He shared in an England T20 record stand of 233 – and world record for the second wicket in T20 internationals – with captain Harry Brook, who clattered a remarkable 95 not out off 45 deliveries in the hosts’ 257-3. England’s third-highest T20 international total and highest against India proved too much for the tourists, who made 201-8 as the world champions fell to a 4-0 series defeat.
Ishan Kishan and Tilak Varma both hit half-centuries but Shreyas Iyer’s beleaguered side, who were shocking in the field, never looked likely to snatch a consolation win and have now lost the number one ranking to their opponents.
