England captain Jos Buttler won the toss and opted to bowl first, but the decision backfired as India, powered by Abhishek Sharma’s heroics, set a daunting target of 248 runs. This total stands as India’s fourth-highest score in T20 cricket.
India’s highest T20 total came last year against Bangladesh in Hyderabad, where they scored 297/6.
