Part-time bowlers strike without any statutory warnings. Bereft of elaborate tease or rousing theatre, the first warning they file is often a wicket itself.

The 34-year-old has now batted in 17 T20Is in India for an exceptional average of 44.91 on Indian soil. That includes five not-outs, Buttler averages more than 31 runs per T20I innings in India regardless of whether or not he was dismissed.

Former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra expressed concerns over Suryakumar Yadav 's recent form as India prepares for the second T20I against England. The match is set to take place on January 25 in Chennai. Chopra stressed that a captain's poor run can add a lot of pressure, referring to Rohit Sharma's recent woes.
