RCB's Jacob Bethell spotted fan's sign "Score a 6 for my grandma!" - immediately smashed Alzarri Joseph for maximum in Bristol T20I.
The left-hander blazed 26(10) at 260 strike rate (3 sixes). Though he left IPL early, showed RCB form for England against WI.
Bethell missed RCB's historic IPL title win but made impact here. England chased 197 in 18.3 overs with Buttler (47) and Brook (34*) shining.
Luke Wood (2/25) was Player of Match as WI suffered 5th straight loss in England tour. Now trail 0-2 in T20Is after 3-0 ODI defeat.
Action moves to Southampton for 3rd T20I (11PM IST). WI risk winless England tour after Ireland ODI series ended 1-1 (2nd match washed out).
Bethell's explosive 26 included 18 runs in just 5 balls against Joseph - proving his T20 potential ahead of next IPL season.
The grandma-six moment won hearts globally. Shows cricket's human side - players connecting with fans in special ways mid-game.
