Jos Buttler Leads England in First T20 against India

Jos Buttler led England with a 44-ball 68 as the rest of the team struggled in the first T20 against India. The game also marked the debut of newly appointed limited-overs coach Brendon McCullum.

Despite his desire to inject more drama into the game, England finished on 132, with only Harry Brooke among the opening eight batsmen to reach double figures, making 17 from 14 balls. India's fielding was strong, with Rinku Singh taking a stunning catch.

Buttler led England to the last over, taking 10 of England's 16 boundaries, but was eventually dismissed after another attempt to tackle Varun Chakravarthy. With balanced play in the field and effective actions from their players, India looked like the confident winners of this match.
