Team India's star all-rounder Washington Sundar made a significant impact by taking a wicket on his first delivery in the second T20I thriller between India and England, taking place on January 25 at MA Chidambaram in Chennai. The star spinner dismissed England's lethal opening batter, Ben Duckett, who tried a reverse sweep but ended up giving an easy catch to point, marking a crucial breakthrough for the Men in Blue.
Duckett, who was batting at three runs, attempted a reverse sweep but mishit the ball, which was caught by Dhruv Jurel, making a quick exit for the stylish right-handed batter.

This moment has highlighted Sundar's ability as a bowler, particularly in the spin-friendly conditions at Chepauk, where spinners are set to play a crucial role throughout the game. His wicket has contributed to Team India's formidable start in the game as Suryakumar Yadav and his men aim to extend their lead in the five matches of the T20I series after winning the first encounter at historic Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
Team India looks to maintain their strong form to take a 2-0 lead vs England
Meanwhile, Team India skipper Suryakumar Yadav won the toss and invited Jos Buttler and his team to bat once again. The side has made two changes from the series-opening game, bringing in Washington Sundar and Dhruv Jurel to replace Nitish Kumar Reddy and Rinku Singh, who are ruled out due to injuries.
As the home team aims to double their lead in this game, Team India looks to maintain their strong form. On the other hand, the 2022 T20 World Cup champions will strive to bounce back and level up the series 1-1. This game seems promising in Chennai to be an exciting contest as the two strong powerhouses are asserting their dominance.
