West Indies thumped England down in a five-match T20I sequence as they clinched a low-scoring thriller in the ultimate contest in Trinidad. England managed to rating solely 132 runs on a two-paced pitch in the primary innings earlier than the Windies themselves struggled to search out the overall and bag one other sequence below Rovman Powell. However, England batter Phil Salt was the foremost spotlight of the 5 video games as he registered a number of milestones in his dream sequence.
Phil Salt just lately grew to become solely the second participant from ICC full members to rating back-to-back centuries in T20Is. He achieved the feat in the 4th T20I when he scored 119 from 57 balls, the very best rating by an England batter in T20Is. He has now shattered an all-time record of Pakistan star Mohammad Rizwan despite scoring simply 38 runs in the fifth T20I.Â
Salt has shattered the record for many runs scored in a T20I bilateral sequence by a participant. He had 293 runs to his title earlier than the ultimate T20I and wanted 24 extra to break Rizwan’s all-time feat of 316 runs in a 20-over sequence. And despite scoring solely 38 runs, the wicket-keeper batter went previous his Pakistan counterpart.

2 – Mohammad Rizwan: 316 runs
3 – Mark Chapman: 290 runs
4 – Babar Azam: 285 runs

Notably, Salt was just lately ignored in the IPL public sale 2024 as he discovered no takers. Salt had a base worth of INR 1.5 crore however not one of the 10 franchises paid curiosity in him in the mini-auction. The 27-year-old was a part of Delhi Capitals in the 2023 season and fared properly. He scored 218 runs in 9 innings at a median of 27.25 and a strike price of 163.91. On not being picked, the wicket-keeper batter was left confused. “It was a confusing morning. I expected to be picked up, having gone there last year and done well and after the year that I’ve had, but these things happen. It’s part of the lottery of an auction, it happens in draft processes as well. There’s a few lads in our dressing room who are going to have a very good Christmas and I’m over the moon for them. I was a bit confused but it can happen. There’s no bad cricketers on the list at the IPL. It’s one of those things,” he stated. Salt had scored a century in the 4th T20I after getting ignored in IPL.
