"What If I Fall...": Virat Kohli's Interesting 'Perspective' Post Goes Viral Ahead Of Third ODI

India batter Virat Kohli is going through the leanest patch of his career at the moment. While a century has been eluding him since 22nd November 2019, this year he has barely managed to stay at the crease for long. In India's ongoing tour to England, Kohli has performed poorly with the bat. He scored 11 and 20 in the fifth and rescheduled Test match against England before scoring 1 and 11 in the two T20Is he played on the tour. Kohli, who missed the first ODI against England due to a groin strain, was dismissed for a 25-ball 16 in the second ODI.

India vs England, 3rd ODI: When And Where To Watch Live Telecast, Live Streaming

India and England will have all to play for in the third and final ODI at Manchester as the three-match series stands level at 1-1. The first ODI was won by Rohit Sharma's side by 10 wickets, however, England stormed back with a comprehensive win in the second ODI by 100 runs. India's batting disappointed in the second ODI and no one got going and hence the visitors were unable to chase down 247. Virat Kohli failed with the bat as he scored just 16 and in the series decider, the biggest focus would be on form of the star batter. It would also be interesting to see if both teams make any changes to their lineup.
