Former captain Virat Kohli holds the record for the most runs scored by an Indian player against England, amassing 648 runs in 21 matches at an average of 38.11 and a strike rate of 135.
Following him is England captain Jos Buttler, who is the second-highest run-scorer with 498 runs in 22 matches at an average of 33.20 and an impressive strike rate of 145.61.

England pacer Chris Jordan leads the wicket-taking charts with 16 wickets in 24 matches, boasting an economy rate of 9.28 and an average of 23.79, with best figures of 4/29. Although Jordan was not selected for this series, his consistent performance against India has been noteworthy, often making him a game-changer for England in the past.
India’s leading wicket-taker in T20Is is premium leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal, who also has 16 wickets, but in just 11 matches, with an average of 21.12 and an economy of 8.04.

India's captain, Surya kumar Yadav, holds the record for the highest individual score in T20Is, having scored 117* off 54 balls in Manchester. His remarkable 360-degree batting style earned him the nickname “Mr. 360.” However, his effort was in vain as England won that match by 17 runs.
