After the disappointment in BGT 2024-25, a new-look India national cricket team faced the England national cricket team in the first T20I and ended up gaining a comprehensive win, and now will want to continue their momentum in the IND vs ENG 2nd T20I 2025 on January 25. The India National Cricket Team vs England National Cricket Team 2nd T20I 2025 is expected to see a comeback from the Jos Buttler-led side, who were completely outclassed at Eden Gardens, where the hosts overpowered their opponents thanks to performances from Abhishek Sharma, Arshdeep Singh, and Varun Chakaravarthy.

Firstly, Arshdeep rattled England's top-order with his bounce and swing, which saw the pacer become India's highest T20I wicket-taker, and then Chakaravarthy spun a web around the middle-and-late order, clinching a three-for. Only Jos Buttler managed to put England afloat with an attacking knock of 68 runs.
Chasing just 133, Abhishek got India off to a flyer and added 41 runs in just over 4 overs with Sanju Samson, who fell for a 20-ball 26. Sharma took the reins of the batting and slammed a blitzkrieg knock of 79, which was laced with five fours, and eight sixes, that helped India notch an easy win, and take a 1 -0 lead in the five T20I series. England would like their pacers to make adjustments in the second T20I, and not let India's attacking batter run amock.

In the first T20I, Arshdeep Singh rocked England's batters up-front except Jos Buttler. Buttler singlehandedly carried the visitor's batting, which Singh would want to see the back of early in the match. Abhishek Sharma ransacked England's bowling, where the batter tore apart Mark Wood and Jofra Archer in particular. Both Wood and Archer will hope to hit back and ensure Sharma does not boss around the veterans.
