Indian cricketer Sanju Samson took to social media on Monday, February 3, to share a picture with England’s captain, Jos Buttler, showing the two exchanging jerseys. The moment came after the conclusion of the five-match T20I series, with the final game played at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday, February 2.

Batting first, the hosts put on an impressive display, finishing at 247/9 in their 20 overs. Abhishek Sharma was the standout performer for India, smashing a remarkable 135 off 54 balls, including seven fours and 13 sixes. His knock set the record for the highest individual score by an Indian in T20Is.

In response, England never looked to be in the chase as India’s bowlers kept taking wickets at regular intervals. The visitors were bowled out for just 97 in 10.3 overs, losing by a massive 150 runs. With this dominant win, the Men in Blue clinched the series 4-1.

On Monday, Sanju Samson took to Instagram stories to share a picture with England’s Jos Buttler, where the duo were seen exchanging jerseys. The two share a great bond, having played together for the Rajasthan Royals in the IPL from 2018 to 2024.

The Indian cricketer captioned the picture:

“My brother from England, Josettan.”

Sanju Samson will continue to captain Rajasthan Royals in the 2025 season, while Buttler will be seen representing Gujarat Titans.
