Buttler made a tongue-in-cheek remark on the toss as he named his side’s ‘impact players’ in a dig at India’s controversial concussion substitution within the preceding game.
Team India and England face off against one another for the fifth and final time in the continued T20I series in Mumbai on Sunday because the hosts look so as to add to their unassailable lead within the series.
England won the toss and skipper Jos Buttler selected to field first in an attempt to save lots of pride of their final T20 outing of the bi-lateral series.
Buttler, nonetheless, made a cheeky remark on the toss as he named his side’s ‘impact players’ in a dig at India’s controversial concussion substitution within the preceding game.
“And our 4 impact subs today are Reham Ahmed, Saqib Mahmood, Jamie Smith and Gus Atkinson,” the English captain said in a tongue-in-cheek manner after winning the toss at Wankhede.
India wrapped up the series with their win within the fourth game of the series. The boys in blue opened the series with back-to-back wins before going right down to a defeat against the English within the third fixture.
“We played some good cricket in patches. We must always have executed it higher though,” Buttler said.
“Have to grab the special moments in the sport,” he recollected.
“There’s a great vibe within the team, it’s a great venue and it’s a fantastic crowd,” he added.
Buttler named the one change his side had made to the ultimate T20I as pacer Mark Wood comes back into the side for the sport in Mumbai.
“It’s a great wicket, Mark Wood comes back in,” he added.
