He was trying to play a lot of shots and fell in the process. This was the first ball he faced against Rashid. Makes room. Rashid shuts it down, it’s a bit short. Kohli hits it decently, but gets straight from Jordan to mid-off. He is as safe as houses and he makes no mistake. India in trouble.

India captain Virat Kohli says that he would have also bowled. He mentions that Dew will play the role of a massive factor and that he would have looked to ban England for an equalizer.

England captain, Eoin Morgan mentions that he will bowl first. He mentions that in his last training, he saw little dew from the decision. He is excited to play against a strong side like India.

Toss – It is time for the flip of the coin as two flippers, Virat Kohli and Eoin Morgan come out in the middle with the match referee. Kohli, being the home captain, bounces the coin. Morgan calls Head. This is the main one. Will book English bill!
Pitch Report – Deep Dasgupta is down for Pitch Report with Ajit Agarkar. Dasgupta says the Tests were played on red clay, while T20Is would use black clay. It is good and tough with little restraint. He mentions that he should assist the spinners. Agarkar says the outfield is in top condition and may deteriorate as the game progresses. Dasgupta ends by saying that a score of 175 should be equal.
We are done with the Test as Eoin Morgan takes charge from Joe Root for the limited-overs series against India. For India, it is their all-weather captain, Virat Kohli, who will lead their boys for the 5-match T20I series. Both teams will get their skills ironed before the mega event to be held later this year. The T20 is considered a mixture of brute force and smart batting that uses power-hitting to good effect and both teams boast a furious batting line. However, on the batting front too, both are similar. England have struggled with the ball in the shortest format of the game while India have been consistent with their bowling. An important toss awaits us as the dew prepares to play its part. Stay connected with us to know more.
