In the second ODI at Lord's, Virat Kohli began his innings in stylish fashion, hitting three beautiful drives off England's best bowler on the day, Reece Topley. However, he flattered to deceive as David Willey had him nicking behind for 16 as England went on to eventually thrash the visitors by 100 runs to level the series 1-1. The match saw Kohli's lean streak continue and former India batter Aakash Chopra rued the fact that it looked like Kohli was set for a big knock, but fell flat in the end.
Virat Kohli's lean patch with the bat continued on Thursday as the player was dismissed for a 25-ball 16 against England in the second ODI at Lord's, London. Chasing a delivery from David Willey outside off stump, Kohli edged the good length ball to wicketkeeper Jos Buttler. It is worth noting that Kohli, who has failed to take his innings deep in the past few matches, had missed the first ODI vs England due to a groin strain. He returned to the squad for the second game but that couldn't change his fortunes as England bowlers outfoxed him once again in the ongoing tour.
Virat Kohli's lean patch with the bat continued as he was dismissed for 16 off 25 balls in the second ODI against England. Kohli, yet again, was caught behind off a delivery angled across him by left-arm pacer David Willey. Analysing his wicket, former India batter Wasim Jaffer said that Kohli needs to have better understanding of the deliveries he needs to leave outside off stump. Jaffer highlighted that the bowlers will keep targeting him in the corridor of uncertainty, saying that it's up to Kohli to find a way out of it.
Pakistan captain Babar Azam won a lot of hearts after he tweeted his support for Virat Kohli, who is going through a lean patch. Kohli was dismissed for 16 in the second ODI against England and soon after, Babar put out a tweet, saying "this too shall pass". As soon as the tweet was made public, fans started praising Babar for supporting Kohli. On the eve of the first Test against Sri Lanka, Babar addressed a press conference and he was asked about his tweet on Kohli.
The second ODI between India and England at Lord's Cricket Stadium was a star-studded affair as many former players were in attendance to witness the high-voltage clash live.

Among many star attractions, fans were elated to see Suresh Raina and MS Dhoni in attendance for the match. A day after the game, official Twitter handle of Chennai Super Kings posted a video which for sure will make the fans of the franchise very happy.
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.
Rohit Sharma backed Virat Kohli, who is currently struggling with bad form, saying he is such a great batsman and does not need reassurance. "He (Kohli) has played so many matches. He is playing for so many years. He is such a great batsman, so he does not need reassurance," Rohit said in a post-match press conference. Having sat out the first ODI on Tuesday due to a groin strain, Kohli took a sort of batting fitness test on the morning of the seond ODI on Thursday, before giving a firm nod to India coach Rahul Dravid about him being ready.
