India captain Virat Kohli on Tuesday allowed England to take extra runs during the third T20 international after slowing their reaction on the field with fast bowler Shardul Thakur. Making a modest defense of 156 against a strong England batting lineup in Ahmedabad, Kohli knew that India had to keep it very tight with their bowling and fielding and to put some pressure on England and keep themselves in the game for. In the 12th over, Johnny Bairstow threw the ball towards the leg side and Shardul Thakur made a slow run to react and when he moved the ball, he made a wild throw that instead of one of the stumps Went towards the cover.
This allowed England to run two comfortably, and the captain of India was not happy.
Shardul was heard going before dazzling Kohli. Before answering Kohli’s few more words, Seemer is explaining himself with an apology.

Kohli earlier played an unbeaten 77 off 46 balls to push the power match to a total of 156-6 in the batting batting lineup.
The last 50 runs of his death came in just 18 balls as he put the England bowlers to death.
However, the move by Jos Buttler, who started England’s innings, did not give any hope of the hosts going into the break.
Butler attacked the Indian bowlers, especially Yuzvendra Chahal, in the powerplay and continued his attack even after the initial six overs, until England were in a comfortable position.
Despite Jason Roy and David Malan losing wickets cheaply, Butler kept England on track. Johnny Bairstow provided him with the support he needed as England won the series 2–1 with an 8-wicket win in the 19th over.
Promoted
Butler was dismissed for an unbeaten 83 from 52 balls, while Bairstow was dismissed for 40 from 28 balls.
Now both teams will clash in the fourth T20I on Thursday.
