IND vs ENG: India has been the dominant side in recording more wins when it comes to the shortest format of the game against England. Whether it be in India or in England, the Indian batters have never failed to score runs against the English bowling attack.
India has witnessed the likes of the two great players, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, the veterans who have scored 4000+ runs in international T20 cricket. However, this time around India would not have the services of the two greats, citing their retirement from T20Is following the title triumph for India in the T20 World Cup.
India will play against England in a five-match T20 series that is scheduled to begin on the 22nd of January and will be immediately followed by a five-match ODI series, which will be very crucial from both sides’ points of view with the Champions Trophy approaching.
Three Indian players with the most runs in IND vs ENG T20Is:
3. Suryakumar Yadav
The current Indian skipper and veteran batter, Suryakumar Yadav, who, despite his short career, is the third Indian batter with the most runs in the shortest format of the game, following the two retired greats, Kohli and Rohit.
SKY has crossed 2500+ runs in the format, while the batter is known to have a great legacy against the fierce English attack, against whom he scored his maiden international hundred. Surya has scored 321 runs for India in the format in just 7 innings, averaging over 45.85.
2. Rohit Sharma
The World Cup-winning Indian skipper Rohit Sharma has the most runs for India in the format, while he has also recorded 467 runs against England in the 15 innings he played against them. Sharma averages nearly 36 against the British rivals.
Rohit Sharma also scored a stunning hundred against the opposition alongside the three fifties he scored against the Englishmen.
1. Virat Kohli
The legendary Indian has aced almost every record of this decade in limited overs cricket, especially when the batter excels against England with an individual score of 648 runs against England in 21 games played.
He has averaged nearly 40 while playing against England and has the highest strike rate recorded in the format against this opposition.
