Pakistan captain Babar Azam has come out in support of star Indian batter Virat Kohli after the latter's poor run of form. Babar took to his Twitter account and wrote, "This too shall pass. Stay strong. #ViratKohli," along with a photo of him and Kohli. After missing the first ODI against England with a groin injury, Kohli made just 16 in the second match, which India lost by 100 runs at Lord's.
Virat Kohli's poor run of form continued in the second ODI of the three-match series against England at Lord's Cricket Stadium as he was dismissed by David Willey after scoring just 16. Before this game, the right-handed batter had not gotten among the runs in the Edgbaston Test and then the Test series. The talk regarding Kohli's form is increasing by the minute, however, skipper Rohit Sharma once again defended the premier batter, saying he does not understand why the form of Kohli is being discussed again and again.
Reece Topley took 6-24, the best figures by any England bowler in a one-day international, as the world champions bounced back to beat India by 100 runs at Lord's on Thursday.
LONDON :England's Reece Topley recorded career-best figures of 6-24 as the hosts roared back in style after their drubbing in the first one-day international against India to level the three-match series with a 100-run win in the second game on Thursday.
Yuzvendra Chahal was in great form in the second ODI against England as he scalped the wickets of Jonny Bairstow, Joe Root, Ben Stokes and Moeen Ali. Bairstow was his first victim as he bowled him out. Then he trapped Root and Stokes plumb in front of the wicket. Also, he got Moeen Ali. Chahal's solid performance meant that India are in driver's seat in the second ODI. If India win the second match, they will take un assailable 2-0 lead in the series.
The second ODI between India and England at Lord's on Thursday will be a great opportunity for the Rohit Sharma-led visitors to seal the series. India had won the first ODI of the three-match contest by 10 wickets. To watch the match, several former Indian cricket team stars including MS Dhoni, Sourav Ganguly, Sachin Tendulkar, Harbhajan Singh, Suresh Raina were present at the Lord's. "7+ 3 = a complete 10" tweeted Chennai Super Kings with an image of Dhoni and Raina together.
Star India batter Virat Kohli would be desperate to come out of his prolonged lean patch when he makes his T20 return after five months with the second game against England, in Birmingham on Saturday. Kohli, who last played a T20 international in February, has featured in only two games since India's underwhelming campaign in the T20 World Cup in October-November when he was captain of the national side. The only T20 cricket he played since then was in the IPL but there too he was far from his best.
