Match Winning Knock and a Wicket – Amanjot Steals the Show
In the second match of the T20 series between India and England, India’s Amanjot Kaur delivered an outstanding performance which helped India to secure a 24-run win. Her contribution with both bat and ball made a big impact in the outcome of the match.
India batted first at County Ground in Bristol and scored a total of 181 runs in their 20 overs. Amanjot played a crucial role in collecting the runs, and remained not out with 63 runs in 40 balls. Her innings included five fours and two sixes and her strike rate was above 150. Her explosive knock gave India momentum in the middle and final overs.
Not just with bat but Amanjot also made an impact with balling skills when England came out to chase. She picked up one key wicket and bowled tight lines. England could only manage 157 runs for 7 wickets, handing India a solid win and a 2-0 lead in the five-match T20 series.
Amanjot Matches a Record Set by Virat Kohli
Amanjot’s performance in the match was not just impactful and historic. She became only the second Indian cricketer to score 60 or more runs and take at least one wicket in a T20 International. The first Indian to do so was Virat Kohli who achieved the feat against Pakistan in Colombo in 2012.
In that match, Kohli scored 78 not out and took a wicket. Similarly, Amanjot remained unbeaten and contributed with the ball. Both were named Player of the Match for their performances. Matching a record held by one of India’s most celebrated cricketers is a major milestone in Amanjot’s career.

Amanjot Kaur Proving Her All-Round Game
Amanjot Kaur has been steadily building her presence in international cricket. In T20 Internationals, she has played 14 matches and scored 155 runs in 9 innings, with an average of 38.75. She has also taken 6 wickets.
In One Day Internationals (ODIs), her performance has been equally impressive. In just 8 matches, she has scored 155 runs and taken 12 wickets. This strong balance of batting and bowling makes her a reliable all-rounder for the Indian women’s national cricket team.
India Leads Series With Confidence
India now holds a 2-0 lead in the T20 series against England. The team looks confident and well-balanced. In the first match, Shreyanka Patil had a major impact, while the second match saw Amanjot Kaur take the spotlight.
England’s batting lineup, which included experienced players like Nat Sciver-Brunt, could not find rhythm. Jemimah Rodrigues also stood out in the field with her energy and sharp movements. India’s tight bowling and solid fielding played a key role in stopping England’s chase.
This win gives India a strong position as they prepare for the remaining matches of the series. The consistency shown by different players is a good sign for the team’s depth and balance.
Amanjot Kaur Becoming India’s Next Big Star
Amanjot has shown that she can handle pressure and perform when it matters most. Her calm attitude and aggressive style of play make her stand out. Few players in women’s international cricket contribute so effectively in both departments.
Her rise adds a lot of value to the India women’s national cricket team. Fans and selectors will be watching her closely in the upcoming matches. If she maintains this form, she could soon become one of the key faces of Indian women’s cricket.
Amanjot Kaur’s all-round performance in the second T20 against England not only gave India a crucial win but also brought her into the spotlight for matching Virat Kohli’s record. Her consistent improvement, balanced skill set, and ability to deliver under pressure make her one of the most promising players in the current lineup. As the series continues, Amanjot is expected to play an even bigger role for Team India.
