IND vs ENG 1st T20I Highlights in Marathi
Team India secured a convincing victory in the first T20I match, powered by the Indian bowlers’ outstanding performance and Abhishek Sharma’s explosive batting. India defeated England by 7 wickets, with Tilak Verma hitting the winning boundary. Abhishek Sharma played a crucial role in India’s easy win, smashing a fiery 79 runs off just 34 balls. Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma confidently took on England’s top fast bowlers, passing the challenge with flying colors.
Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav won the toss and opted to bowl first, a decision vindicated by the Indian bowlers. England was restricted to just 132 runs in 20 overs. Varun Chakravarthy was the standout performer with 3 wickets, while Arshdeep Singh, Hardik Pandya, and Axar Patel chipped in with 2 wickets each. The Indian T20 team excelled in all departments—bowling, fielding, and batting. Arshdeep Singh set the tone early by taking a wicket on the third ball of the match. Despite Jos Buttler’s efforts to stabilize England’s innings, he lacked adequate support from the other end. Buttler and Harry Brook tried to form a partnership, but Varun Chakravarthy’s double blow in one over, clean-bowling both, crushed England’s hopes of a comeback.
Chasing a modest target of 133, India’s opening pair of Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma stepped in with confidence. The duo built a brisk 41-run partnership for the first wicket. While Samson departed for 26 runs, Abhishek Sharma continued to dominate, giving England no opportunity to regain control. His blistering 79-run knock anchored the innings, helping India chase down the target in just 12.5 overs, with 3 wickets down.
