Hits and misses: 3rd ODI, England vs India

#3 Hit: Virat Kohli

Currently, the best batsman in the world and India’s No.3, Virat Kohli, continues to churn out runs in his own fashion. He came out to bat in a pressure situation when run scoring was difficult and the ball was swinging around.

He started with rotating the strike and build formidable partnerships with Dhawan and Karthik. Kohli looked set for a big hundred before an Adil Rashid’s delivery gripped in the surface and took away his off stump.

Virat ended up making a vital contribution of 71 off just 72 balls. On a pitch where every other Indian batsman struggled, Virat played a classical knock and helped the team to post a respectable total to defend.
