Brendon McCullum celebrated England's impressive 4-0 series sweep over India, asserting that reaching the pinnacle of the world T20 rankings is merely the beginning of their journey.

The final match in Southampton showcased a dominant performance, with Jos Buttler smashing 131 runs off 64 balls and Harry Brook contributing a stellar 95 off 45 balls. Their record 233-run partnership propelled England to a 56-run victory, firmly establishing them as the premier side in T20 cricket.

This series victory also marked a turning point for English cricket, following a challenging summer highlighted by Ben Stokes' retirement as Test captain. McCullum praised his team's ability to perform under pressure, stating, "Coming into the series, things have been a bit noisy around English cricket, if we're being honest." He emphasized the importance of focusing on the task against a formidable Indian side, who had held the No 1 ranking for over 1,600 days.

McCullum acknowledged the scrutiny surrounding his coaching role but expressed satisfaction with the series outcome, saying, "We won't stop. We'll keep pushing ourselves to be a better team." Former captain Eoin Morgan lauded the transition between formats, noting that McCullum and Brook ensured no negativity from the Test series affected their T20 performance.
