Virat Kohli Birthday: India's Top 5 ODI wins under Kohli's captaincy

#4 2nd ODI against England at Cuttack (2017)

Yuvraj Singh and MS Dhoni resurrected India's fortunes from a seemingly hopeless position

After another Kohli special and Kedar Jadhav's spectacular knock had helped them chase down a mammoth total in the series opener against England in Pune, India were looking to seal the deal in the second ODI at the Barabati Stadium in Cuttack. However, their top-order was blown away in a jiffy as a result of Chris Woakes' stunning spell.

Having been reduced to smithereens on a flat surface, India's hopes of posting a competitive total seemed to be fading away. At 25/3, the writing was almost on the wall. What transpired was breathtaking as a vintage partnership from Yuvraj Singh and MS Dhoni not only resuscitated the innings but also reversed the pressure on England's bowlers.

The experienced duo, who had been the architects of numerous such stands, turned back the clock with a remarkable display of counter-attack. While Yuvraj got to a career best score of 150, Dhoni brought up his tenth ODI ton to propel India to 381. Even though England came perilously close to the target, Ravichandran Ashwin's three-wicket haul and Bhuvneshwar Kumar's impressive death bowling led the hosts to a series-sealing victory.
