India put on an impressive display, defeating England by 150 runs to clinch a 4-1 series victory in the fifth T20I on February 2, 2025. The match was highlighted by a brilliant century from Abhishek Sharma, whose knock was the backbone of India’s huge total. The English bowlers struggled to contain the Indian batsmen, and the scorecard reflected India’s dominance. When it came to the bowling, India was equally ruthless. Their bowlers made quick work of England’s batting line-up, sending them packing for a total of under 100 runs. The English side simply had no answers to India’s clinical performance, and they were bowled out in no time. The atmosphere at Mumbai’s iconic Wankhede Stadium was further heightened by a special guest. Former UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak made a notable appearance, engaging with players like Suryakumar Yadav and Jos Buttler. His visit added a touch of celebrity to the occasion as he mingled with the cricketers ahead of the match. Fans were excited to see the British politician at the cricket ground, especially with the tension high after England’s disappointing performance in the series.
