In a surprising turn of events, Jos Buttler’s debut as ODI captain for England ended in disappointment as the team slumped to a paltry total of 179 all out, the lowest score of this edition. The decision to bat first proved to be costly for England, as the Indian bowlers dominated the match, restricting the visitors to a meager total.

Despite high expectations for Buttler’s leadership on the field, England’s batting lineup failed to deliver, with none of the players able to make a significant impact. The Indian bowlers, led by Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Yuzvendra Chahal, capitalized on England’s struggles, putting up a strong performance to dismantle the opposition.

In a match that was heavily dominated by the Indian team, England’s lackluster performance with the bat ultimately led to their downfall. With this defeat, England will need to regroup and come back stronger in the next match to keep their hopes alive in the series.
