The 5 -match T20 series is currently being played between India and England. In this series, there is no special performance from England yet. This team is also 0-2 in the series. At the same time, this team also includes a player who was bought by Royal Challengers Begaluru by spending crores of rupees in the IPL 2025 mega auction. But since this player has become a part of RCB, as if this player has come to see someone. This player is known for his explosive batting. But currently it is struggling for one run.
In the mega auction of IPL 2025, Royal Challengers Bangalore spent fierce money on England batsman Phil Salt. Mumbai Indians and Kolkata Knight Riders also showed interest in Phil Soult, but Royal Challengers Bangalore made them part of their team by paying Rs 11.50 crore. But since Phil Soult has played 11 T20 matches ever since he became part of the team of Royal Challengers Bangalore. Out of this, he has been working only once in crossing the 50 -run mark.
In this series against Team India, Phil Salt has not been able to touch the double figure even once in the first 3 matches. In the first match of this series, he was able to play only 3 balls and was dismissed without opening an account. At the same time, in the second match, he could score only 4 runs off 3 balls. Now something similar was seen in Rajkot. He was able to play only 5 runs off 7 balls and returned to the pavilion.
After the mega auction of IPL 2025, Phil Soult has played a total of 11 matches. Out of these, he could not even touch the double figure in 8 matches and has been out without opening an account. At the same time, in the remaining three matches, he has scored an unbeaten 43 runs, 13 runs and 71 runs. He has also played these innings in Abu Dhabi T10 and International League T20. On the other hand, Phil Soult scored 435 runs in 12 matches in the last season of IPL. Seeing this strong performance, RCB has bought them. But his poor form is currently proving to be a big tension for RCB.
