India endured a humiliating 125-run defeat against England in the third T20I in Nottingham on Wednesday, marking their biggest-ever loss in the format. Chasing 202, the visitors were bowled out for 72, their second-lowest total in T20Is, as Phil Salt's 70 powered England to 201.

The previous record for India's worst defeat was an 80-run loss to New Zealand in Wellington in 2019. The margin also became the largest by any team in England, surpassing England's 146-run win over South Africa in 2025. Additionally, Jos Buttler set a new England wicketkeeping record with five dismissals in a T20I innings.
