England opener Jos Buttler was at his aggressive best, hammering an unbeaten 83 off just 52 balls (5x4, 4x6) as the visitors comfortably chased down India’s 156-6 with eight wickets and 10 balls to spare. Buttler had Jonny Bairstow (40 not out off 28 balls) for company at the other end as England took a 2-1 lead in the five match series at the Narendra Modi Stadium here on Tuesday.
Earlier, after being put in to bat, Virat Kohli (77, 46 balls, 8x4, 4x6) and Rishabh Pant (25, 20 balls, 3x4) attempted to steer the ship to safety with a 40-run (off 35 balls) partnership after the top three batsmen fell for 24 inside the powerplay. However, a suicidal third run attempt in the 12th over ended their effort. Buttler was quick to recover after a misfield for Sam Curran to catch Pant way short of his crease at the other end.
