London: England completed a dominant 4-0 series sweep over India with a commanding 56-run victory in the fifth and final T20 International, ending India’s reign as the No. 1-ranked ICC T20I team after 1,601 days.<\/p>\n
England piled up a massive 257\/3 after explosive knocks from Jos Buttler, who smashed 131 off 64 balls, and captain Harry Brook, who remained unbeaten on 95 off 45 deliveries.<\/p>\n
Chasing a daunting target, India could only manage 201\/8 despite half-centuries from Ishan Kishan (56 off 35 balls) and Tilak Varma (53 off 25 balls). Their efforts reduced the margin of defeat but were never enough to threaten England’s total.<\/p>\n
The victory not only sealed a comprehensive series triumph for England but also propelled the hosts to the No. 1 position in the ICC T20I rankings, replacing India at the top.<\/p>\n
The defeat marked India’s sixth loss under new captain Shreyas Iyer, increasing pressure on the side after a disappointing series. Reports indicate that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) will review the team’s poor performances following the heavy defeat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
