India's Spin Trio Dominates England in Series Opener

India's spinners, led by Varun Chakaravarthy, decimated England in the first T20I of the series, setting up a resounding 7-wicket win in Kolkata.

England's Batting Collapse

England's batting lineup, touted as exciting, failed to deliver as they were bowled out for just 132. Phil Salt and Ben Duckett were early casualties, both falling to Arshdeep Singh's short deliveries. Jos Buttler's 68 was the only notable score, but even he couldn't prevent a collapse that saw England lose 8 wickets in the last 5 overs.

Abhishek Sharma's Blistering Knock

Abhishek Sharma's 79 off 43 balls was the highlight of the Indian innings. He passed his test against serious pace, fetching back-to-back sixes against Jofra Archer and Mark Wood. His 20-ball half-century was a stunning display of batting prowess.

India's Spinners Shine

Varun Chakaravarthy's 3/23 and Arshdeep Singh's 2/17 were the pick of the Indian bowlers. Chakaravarthy's double-wicket over, which included the wickets of Harry Brook and Liam Livingstone, was a turning point in the match.

Brief Scores

England: 132 in 20 overs (Jos Buttler 68; Varun Chakaravarthy 3/23, Arshdeep Singh 2/17)

India: 133/3 in 12.5 overs (Abhishek Sharma 79; Jofra Archer 2/21)
