ENG vs IND 2nd T20I: Bhuvneshwar Kumar has been the bowling boon for team India, especially in the powerplays this year. The bowler dismissed English captain Jos Buttler for a golden duck in the first T20I, and he notched it up as he dismissed Jason Roy for a golden duck on the first ball of the innings!

Chasing a target of 171, England needed to get a decent start. However, Bhuvneshwar Kumar didn't let this happen as he struck with the first ball of the innings. The 'Swing King' bowled a good length delivery swinging away from outside off. Roy's feet went nowhere as threw his bat in search of the ball.

All the batter managed was a thick edge, straight to Indian skipper Rohit Sharma in the first slip. After dismissing Jason Roy for a duck, Bhuvneshwar went on to dismiss English captain Jos Buttler in the third over as wicket-keeper Pant, standing up to the stumps, managed to grab a decent catch which was faintly edged by Jos Buttler who was trying to play over the ball instead of trying to drive it.
