Follow UsThe upcoming India vs England 5-match T20I series is going to draw a lot of eyeballs as the series is expected to have some of the best batting on display. Both sides are packed with extraordinary talent who, on their day, can single-handedly win games for their side.
The likes of Suryakumar Yadav, Sanju Samson, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya from India and Phil Salt, Jos Buttler, Liam Livingstone, Harry Brook from England all bring their own sense of match-winning qualities which will combine and probably create a lot of records during the series.
Here are the three records that can be broken in the India vs England T20I series:
Six-hitting has been the trend in T20 cricket over the last couple of years. The IPL itself has shown how important it is for teams to have batters who can smash sixes at their will, resulting in high-scoring encounters and unimaginable targets being chased.
Both India and England have batters tailor made for six hitting as the likes of Sanju Samson and Suryakumar Yadav have been one of the top six hitters in T20Is over the last two years. In England, we can see how the likes of Jos Buttler, Phil Salt, and Liam Livingstone have displayed their power in clearing the field.
Therefore, this upcoming series will aim towards breaking the most sixes in a bilateral T20I series, which currently stands at 120 in the five-match T20I series between West Indies and England in the Caribbean in 2023.
As the series has been hyped up on the back of big scores and matches in batting-friendly conditions, it is obvious that the run rate of the matches is going to be high.
The venues of Rajkot, Chennai and Mumbai have seen 200+ totals being posted in both the innings in IPL and other games in recent times. Even Kolkata and Pune have seen their fair share of massive totals in the last couple of years.
With all five venues considered to be batting havens, this series might end up having the highest run rate in a five-match T20I series, which is currently 10.01 from the India vs Australia T20I series in November 2023.
Both India and England are filled with batters who can play long innings and single-handedly win matches for the team. Sanju Samson, Tilak Varma showed in the Bangladesh and South Africa T20I series how they can regularly score 50+ runs and win games for the side.
Similarly, in the England side Phil Salt, Jos Buttler and Harry Brook have showcased scoring big runs in crucial games and standing up for the side.
With the mix of so many batters who can score 50+ quickly and at will, we can hope to see multiple 50+ scores each game and possibly the most 50+ scores in a T20I series, which is currently 15 from the epic seven-match T20I series between Pakistan and England in Pakistan in 2022.
