Salt stood out because of his aggressive stroke play and reliable hole-finding throughout a string of thrilling West Indies vs. England matches. His power, accuracy, and variety of shots during his innings rattled his bowling opponents.
Apart from showcasing his individual ability, the English opener’s remarkable scores of 40, 25, 109*, 119, and 38 highlight the significance of his efforts at the top of the order for the team. He won the five-match series primarily because he could bat steadily for the whole inning and quickly when needed.
After winning the T20I leg despite trailing 2-0, England lost the rubber match on December 21 by a score of four wickets.
Because of his superb batting performance, Salt was named “Player of the Series.”
