Ex-India all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin, ahead of India's T20I series against England, said wicketkeeper-batter Phil Salt "could be the most valuable T20 batter in the world". "So, if we look at his performance considering that...he isn't coming in with a very good form," he added. Salt recently scored 71*(49) in Abu Dhabi Knight Riders' opening ILT20 2025 match against Desert Vipers.
