Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) opener Phil Salt has carried his explosive IPL form onto the international stage, playing a pivotal role in England's commanding 65-run victory over New Zealand in the second T20 International. Salt delivered a blistering performance, scoring 85 runs to anchor the innings alongside Harry Brook, who contributed 78.
Salt's aggressive batting helped England post a formidable total of 236 for 4, setting up a dominant win. This display of power-hitting is a significant positive for RCB fans, demonstrating that the opener is in peak form and rhythm, maintaining the high standards he set during the recent IPL season.
As the international calendar progresses, Salt's continued success in white-ball cricket reinforces his status as one of the most destructive openers in the game, promising more fireworks for the Bengaluru franchise in future tournaments.
