Virat Kohli, the Indian cricket team captain, wouldn’t have asked for anything more than beating England at their home. On July 3, the men-in-blue took the field against England at Old Trafford in Manchester and started their journey with an 8-wicket victory on the English soil.
A phenomenal five-wicket haul from Kuldeep Yadav and a terrific 101-run unbeaten knock from KL Rahul helped team India to beat the Englishmen on their land.
A day ahead of the 2nd T20I, Kohli took to his official social media account and shared a picture which described his ‘most exciting feeling’.
Here’s the post:
During the first face-off, the Old Trafford cricket stadium was completely packed with cricket fans. Especially, the Indians gathered in number to cheer for Kohli and Co. As stated by the Indian captain in the post, ‘the passion of fans created a kind of energy’ which ultimately boosted them to register the first-ever T20I victory against England in England.
Leading the 3-match series 1-0, India is scheduled to play the next match on Thursday in Cardiff.
