India’s 50-run victory was their third biggest in terms of runs against England and biggest-ever in England. India’s biggest win over England is 90 runs at Colombo on September 23, 2012 followed by a 75-run victory at Bangalore on February 1, 2017.

Romania’s Ramesh Satheesan who won the 12 successive T20s between October 17, 2020 and September 5, 2021, held the previous record.
