Brydon Carse, on Saturday (January 25), gave England a breakthrough by dismissing Washington Sundar in the ongoing second T20I against India at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
Chasing 166 runs, India were reeling at 78 for 5 when Sundar joined Tilak Varma in the middle. The duo steadied the ship towards India and took the score past the 100-run mark. With both players well prepared, it looked like they would lead the Men in Blue to the finish line.
However, England captain Jos Buttler introduced Brydon Carse into the attack and he made an instant impact by castling Sundar. After taking two wickets in his first two overs, Carse returned Sundar in the third over.
On the fourth ball of the over, Washington Sundar made space to drive the ball towards third man. However, he was unable to make any contact with the ball and paid a heavy price when the ball crashed into the stumps. Washington Sundar departed after scoring 26 runs off 19 balls.

Meanwhile, India were at 126/7 after 15 overs at the time of writing this report. They need 40 runs in the last five overs to go 2-0 up in the series. At the start of the game, England finished their innings at 165/9.
A game to remember for Brydon Carse:
While only time will tell whether England win the current match or not, Brydon Carse has definitely managed to make a big impact on the game. The English all-rounder was recalled to England playing 11 for the second T20I and has fully justified the decision.
He has made a huge impact with both bat and ball in the game to keep England in the hunt for a series-leveling victory. He first impressed with the bat, smashing 31 runs before running out of bat. His knock came off just 17 balls and was studded with fours and three sixes.
England were reeling at 90 for 5 before Brydon Carse’s excellent knocking and useful contributions from other lower order players helped them post a total of over 150.
He then impressed with the ball. In the powerplay finale, the fast bowling all-rounder cleanly bowled India captain Suryakumar Yadav before also dismissing Dhruv Jurel to reduce India to 66/4.
