It was the first match of the Kohli era. India fielded first which proved to be a very wrong decision as England piled up runs thanks to some brilliant batting from Roy, Root & Stokes. The Twitterati though reacted to Dhoni's brilliant review, Yadav's bowling & Dhawan's failure at the crease.
Virat Kohli and Kedar Jadhav hit centuries to help India take a 1-0 lead in the three-match one-day series against England. Batting first, England had posted a colossal 350 runs thanks to lower-order blitzkriegs and some poor bowling by the Indian bowlers.
Brief Scores: England 350/7 (Joe Root 78, Jason Roy 73, Ben Stokes 62; Hardik Pandya 2-46) lost to India 356/7 ( Virat Kohli 122, Kedar Jadhav 120, Jake Ball 3/67 ) by 3 wickets.
Local boy Kedar Jadhav had the onus on his shoulder to see off a run-chase with the chase-master and he couldn’t ask for a better start to his innings. After all the manic batting display by the top of the order batsmen, Jadhav displayed composure but at the same time, attacked the English bowlers. Kohli continued his usual magnificent form to bring his 17th century in the run-chase.
With this bowling, that makes sense!
India win the toss and elect to concede runs first.

Things that happened after the toss! :P

It's Time Umesh Yadav Should Reveal Which Team He's Playing For.
Not something to be proud of!
Captain Changed
— Broken Cricket (@BrokenCricket)
But Indian bowling in death overs remains constant!
Makes complete sense!
Kohli has captained RCB. Seeing his bowlers getting smashed all over the place isn't new to him.

Somethings never change!
Hardik Pandya gets second over of the innings? Looks like Dhoni is still the captain.

As expected!
Bumrah bowled at least three beamers today but wasn't taken out of the attack

One umpire was Indian, other was Dharmasena. Explains
Could not explain it better!
Umesh Yadav bowling is as unpredictable as your GF's mood.

Old joke, but still makes sense!
Still a better opener than Shikhar Dhawan 😂

His videos in fact are longer than even Dhawan's Test innings!
Shikhar Dhawan's Instagram videos last a tad longer than his innings.

Always a classic!

That's Kedar for you
Kedar Jadhav will be my Man of the Match. Not often you see someone overshadowing the class of Kohli in a run chase. Well played.

Makes sense
Virat Kohli Was Stopped Thrice From Taking Single On 99*. That SIX Was 's Way Of Saying "Ab Pakad Ke Dikha BC". ;)
