The Indian cricket team reclaimed the top spot in the Cricket World Cup 2023 points table with a comprehensive 100-run win over defending champions England in Lucknow on Sunday. It was a brilliant show from the Indian pace duo of Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami after setting a somewhat modest total thanks to gritty knocks from Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav. After the huge victory, India remain the only unbeaten side in the competition with 12 points from 6 matches. On the other hand, England continued their disappointing run as they are bottom of the table with only two points. South Africa is currently second in the points table with 10 points and the best Net Run Rate among all the teams while New Zealand and Australia are third and fourth respectively.
After narrowly missing out on his century last week, which would've put him on level terms with Sachin Tendulkar as the batter with the most number of tons, India batter Virat Kohli was expected to deliver a good show against England in Lucknow on Sunday.

This was Kohli's 34th duck in international cricket, the same as Tendulkar, who played 664 match during his illustrious career. Meanwhile, the game against England is Kohli's 513th international match.
