There is a very famous dialogue from the Bollywood film ‘Manjhi – The Mountain Man’ – Jab tak todenge nahin, tak chuten nahi hai. In the first match of the T20 series played between England and West Indies, some such action was seen which suits that film dialogue. The only difference was that instead of Nawazuddin Siddiqui, who played Manjhi in the film Hero, it was England’s wicketkeeper batsman and opener Phil Salt, who scored the best century of his career.
Don’t let go until you break!
England won the first match of the T20 series against West Indies by 8 wickets. With this he also took 1-0 lead in the series. Phil Salt played his role behind this success of England through his unbeaten century. Once he came to the crease to open the innings, he did not return to the dugout until he completely defeated the West Indies and forced them to kneel.
Phil Salt did what he has been doing in the West Indies!
Batting first, West Indies scored 182 runs for 9 wickets in 20 overs. That means England had a challenge of 183 runs. To chase this huge target, Phil Salt came from England and he did what he is world famous for doing on West Indies soil. Phil Salt scored a century.
