Team India is on cloud nine. And, why not the emphatic win against England in the first T20. What Team India has done to England in Kolkata is called not just defeating but completely destroying the opponent. The Indian team scripted its victory 43 balls ago, which is its biggest victory over England in terms of balls remaining in a T20I match. This victory is the result of the unmatched planning of its bowlers and explosive innings of its batsmen. While registering this stormy victory, India has also broken Australia's world record.
