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.

England vs India, 2nd ODI: Reece Topley Says Record-Breaking Haul Makes Injury Pain Worthwhile

Reece Topley said returning England's best one-day international bowling figures during a 100-run rout of India at Lord's on Thursday had made years ravaged by injury "worthwhile". The 28-year-old took an outstanding 6-24 as 50-over world champions England, defending a seemingly modest 246, bounced back from their humiliating 10-wicket defeat at the Oval on Tuesday to level this three-match series at 1-1 ahead of Sunday's decider at Old Trafford. Topley made his international debut back in 2015 but four years of his career have been blighted by injuries, with the paceman suffering four separate stress fractures of his back.

India vs England: Reece Topley Registers Best England Bowling Figures In An ODI With Six-Wicket Haul

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.

"This Too Shall Pass": Babar Azam's Viral Tweet As Virat Kohli Fails Again vs England

Virat Kohli and Babar Azam's current forms are in sharp contrast to each other. While the former Indian cricket team captain is going through the leanest phase of his career, the current Pakistan cricket team skipper is having a great run. There have often been comparisons between the two. However, the camaraderie between the two has not been lost. After Virat Kohli fell for 16 in the second ODI against England, Azam had some words of motivation for the India great.

Reece Topley Topples India, England Win By 100 Runs To Level ODI Series 1-1

Indian top-order fell like ninepins as Reece Topley's 6 for 24 headlined a fine England bowling performance in a series-levelling 100-run win while defending a modest target in the second ODI at the Lord's on Thursday. With parity restored in the three-match series, the decider at the Old Trafford in Manchester on Sunday promises to be a mouth-watering contest. When the Indian bowlers put up another impressive show to bowl out England for 246 in 49 overs, little did one know that the visiting batters would inexplicably implode for a paltry 146 in 38.5 overs in the face of nice seam and swing bowling from Topley.

Yuzvendra Chahal Takes 4-Wicket Haul vs England, Breaks Mohinder Amarnath's 39-Year-Old Record At Lord's

Yuzvendra Chahal's clever variations complemented by Hardik Pandya's steady fast medium bowling saw India bowl out England for a manageable 246 in 49 overs in the second ODI at the Lord's on Thursday. However, it was Moeen Ali (47 off 64 balls) who took the attack back to the opposition camp with his audacious hooked and pulled sixes interspersed with slog sweeps as England's total had some semblance of respectability after the feared top-order promised much but delivered little.
