No England batsman has yet hit a century against India in T20I cricket.

India and England stand as the two powerhouses in T20I cricket. They are also two of the three teams, with the West Indies being the third, to have won the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup twice.

These two teams have played several memorable games. Their clashes in T20Is have seen plenty of high-scoring games, including Yuvraj Singh’s six sixes to Stuart Broad in the 2007 T20 World Cup and England’s 10-wicket marauding of India in the semi-final of the T20 World Cup 2022.

Both teams have produced some of the most explosive batters in T20I cricket, including MS Dhoni, Jos Buttler, and Rohit Sharma.

In this article, we will take a look at the top five highest scores by England batsmen against India in T20I cricket.

5. Eoin Morgan – 71, Birmingham, 2014
