That was the treatment that they got from the two English superstars in Harry Brook and Jos Buttler. India got the breakthrough they wanted. Phil Salt was gone early. And then everything fell apart. Brook decided he wasn’t waiting around. 19 balls, fifty. He was hitting everything, anywhere.
Buttler let him have the limelight at first, nurdled his way to fifty, and then decided it’s his turn. From there it was just brutal. Once Buttler got going after his fifty, India had no answers. Sixes into the stands, fours through gaps that weren’t even there. 100 up in the 16th and he barely broke a sweat. Brook ended 95 not out. Should’ve been out on 3. Should’ve been out on 90. Dube dropped a dolly. Kishan put down another one in the 20th. You drop Buttler and Brook twice each and this is what happens. 257 on the board. England’s highest ever vs India in T20Is. Four more than India even made in that World Cup semi earlier this year.
