WATCH: Bhuvneshwar Kumar Strikes On First Ball Of The Innings; Jason Roy Departs For Golden Duck
Bhuvneshwar Kumar dismissed Jason Roy (0) and Jos Buttler (4) inside the powerplay in the 2nd T20I between England and India at Edgbaston, Birmingham.
ENG vs IND 2nd T20I: Bhuvneshwar Kumar has been the bowling boon for team India, especially in the powerplays this year. The bowler dismissed English captain Jos Buttler for a golden duck in the first T20I, and he notched it up as he dismissed Jason Roy for a golden duck on the first ball of the innings!
Chasing a target of 171, England needed to get a decent start. However, Bhuvneshwar Kumar didn't let this happen as he struck with the first ball of the innings. The 'Swing King' bowled a good length delivery swinging away from outside off. Roy's feet went nowhere as threw his bat in search of the ball.

All the batter managed was a thick edge, straight to Indian skipper Rohit Sharma in the first slip. After dismissing Jason Roy for a duck, Bhuvneshwar went on to dismiss English captain Jos Buttler in the third over as wicket-keeper Pant, standing up to the stumps, managed to grab a decent catch which was faintly edged by Jos Buttler who was trying to play over the ball instead of trying to drive it.
