Watch: Lord's Cricket Ground Shares Video Of Virat Kohli Walking Out To Bat In Second ODI vs England

Team India on Thursday lost the second ODI of the three-match series to England by 100 runs at Lord's in London. It was a collective bating failure for the visitors but the form of Virat Kohli once again became the talk of the town. The right-handed batter scored 16 runs off 25 balls before losing his wicket to David Willey at a crucial juncture in the game. Kohli had come out to bat in the third over as Reece Topley had provided England an early breakthrough by dismissing Rohit Shama for a 10-ball duck.

"Resting Wont Help You...": Former Selector's Strong Statement On Virat Kohli

The form of maverick batter Virat Kohli has become a huge talking point off late. The former skipper failed to get going in the 2nd ODI as he was dismissed by David Willey. The most disappointing fact about the dismissal was that Kohli edged an delivery well outside off-stump and hence he was sent back to the pavilion after scoring just 16 runs. Kohli will not be seen in the upcoming ODI and T20I series against West Indies, and now former selector Sarandeep Singh has said that he does understand the meaning of resting as Kohli has not been among the runs.

2nd ODI: Reece Topley's career-best 6/24 sends India hurtling to 100-run defeat

England's superb comeback, after being hammered in the opener, has helped them tie the score 1-1 and set up an exciting finale, with the ODI series decider to be played on July 17 at Old Trafford. AS IT HAPPENEDLike England saw their batting implode in the first ODI, India too suffered a horrible top-order collapse which saw them crash to 31 for four in the 12th over. Chasing 247, the visitors folded for 146 in 38. 5 overs. Making things difficult for India with his high point of release due to his tall frame, Topley sent back both India's openers, skipper Rohit Sharma (0 off 10 balls) and Shikhar Dhawan (9 off 26 balls), before getting the in-form Suryakumar (27 off 29 balls), Shami (23), Chahal (3) and Krishna (0). Brydon Carse dismissed Rishabh Pant (0, 5b) and David Willey took out an out-of-form former captain Virat Kohli (16, 25b, 3x4) as England's pacers breathed fire on a pitch which had a bit of extra bounce. Ravindra Jadeja and Hardik Pandya each scored 29 off 44 balls, but both perished to England's spinners. While Pandya holed out to deep mid-wicket off Moeen Ali, Jadeja played all over a simple delivery from Liam Livingstone.

"Why Would You Question That?": Jos Buttler Backs Virat Kohli

The chatter regarding Virat Kohli's form is increasing by the minute. The right-handed batter failed to get among the runs in the second ODI against England as he perished after scoring just 16. He went chasing a delivery that was outside the off-stump and hence he lost his wicket to pacer David Willey. However, England captain Jos Buttler has now also come in support of Kohli, saying that the former India skipper has scored so many runs, and he does not understand why would someone question that.

Former Pakistan Player Reveals Batting Advice He Gave To Virat Kohli

Star India batter Virat Kohli has been going through a lean patch with the bat, having failed to score a century in nearly three years. While some experts have failed to point out any flaws in his technique, some feel that the 33-year-old batters should take some time away from the game. In the same light, former Pakistan spinner Mushtaq Ahmed recently revealed that he gave Kohli some advice regarding his batting, and the latter has certainly worked on it.

Virat Kohli's lean patch is showing no signs of ending. In the fifth rescheduled Test against England, he scored 11 and 20 in the two innings. Then in the T20I series, he played two matches and could only score 1 and 11. Then a groin strain saw him missing the first ODI against England. He came back in the second ODI only to fall for 16 to David Willey. After India were reduced to 29/3 by the 11th over, chasing a 247-run target, a lot was expected from the former Indian cricket team captain but he could not deliver yet again.

"Do Not Get It": Rohit Sharma On Chatter Regarding Virat Kohli's Form

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 returned the best figures by an England bowler in a one-day international when the left-arm quick took 6-24 against India at Lord's on Thursday. The 28-year-old's haul surpassed retired all-rounder Paul Collingwood's 6-31 against Bangladesh at Trent Bridge in 2005 and was only the fourth instance of an England bowler taking six wickets at this level, with all-rounder Chris Woakes having performed the feat on two occasions.
