India endured a record 125-run thrashing by England in the third T20I at Trent Bridge, going down 0-2 in the five-match series. Set 201 to win, the visitors were bowled out for 76, their lowest total in T20Is, with no batter reaching 14. Phil Salt's 70 off 44 had anchored England's innings, while Josh Tongue and Jofra Archer took four and three wickets respectively.

Outraged fans flooded social media, demanding head coach Gautam Gambhir be sacked. India have now lost consecutive T20Is on this tour and were recently whitewashed by Ireland. Critics also slammed the batting order, questioning why Harshit Rana and Axar Patel were promoted ahead of Shivam Dube and Tilak Varma. With two matches left, India face an uphill battle to save the series.
