England collapse to series defeat vs India despite Richard Gleeson's brilliant debut

India have wrapped up a series win over England after following up their dominant victory in the first T20I with a 49-run win in the second, despite Richard Gleeson's stunning debut.

Gleeson has had a long and difficult journey to the top, having not made his professional debut until he was 27 and then struggling with a back problem which limited him to just three T20 appearances for Lancashire over the past two years.

However, all the struggles were worth it as he picked up 3-15 on his international debut, taking the big wickets of global superstars Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant. At 34, he is England's oldest debutant since Paul Nixon in 2007 and he made an instant impact after Rohit and Pant had powered India to 43-0 off the first four overs.
