India-England 1st ODI: India chased a historic total of 350

let's have a glimpse of the historic the match.

Virat Kohli won the toss and elected to field first, but it was a very hard day for him. English team answered his call by making 350-7. Bumrah was the most expensive among all bowlers by giving 79 runs in his 10 overs.
English batsmen played good as well:
  • Jason Roy (73) opened the innings in impressively aggressive way.
  • Joe Root (78), Ben Stokes (62) played extremely well 
  • Scored 115 runs in last 10 overs.                                                                                         
India couldn't manage to open well and comeback King Yuvraj caught behind the wickets as well as Dhoni couldn't manage to score double digits.

India were 63-4 and then came the local boy, man of the match today Kedar Jadhav. He played an unforgettable innings of 120 from just 76 balls.
Indian skipper had taken the responsibility on his strong shoulders before Kedar's entry.
India won the game because of two wonderful centuries by Virat Kohli (122) and Kedar Jadhav (120).

It was a very good competition indeed but at the end of the day India won by 3 wickets. It's a historic victory for India.


Records in the match:

  • Virat Kohli equates Sachin Tendulkar's record of maximum centuries while chasing (17 centuries).
  • India's second highest overall ODI chase (Highest against England).
