India vs England: Wicketkeeper-batsman Jonny Bairstow brought up his 11th ODI hundred off 95 balls during England's must-win match against India in Pune on Friday. His innings was studded with 8 fours and 6 sixes.
Jonny Bairstow was on fire during the 1st ODI but missed out on a very well-deserved century after falling to Shardul Thakur for 94 off just 66 balls. His wicket led to an England batting collapse and the visitors lost the match by 66 runs. However, the 31-year-old did not let go of the opportunity this time and brought up his 11th ODI hundred off 95 balls in the 2nd ODI. Bairstow went down on his knee and smoked a six over mid-wicket to bring up the milestone in style. His power-packed innings was filled with 8 fours and 6 sixes, completely destroying the Indian bowling attack. In a scenario similar to the 1st ODI, England had a daunting target of 337-run to chase and like the previous encounter the opening partnership of Bairstow and Jason Roy stitched a century stand again.More Related News
