India’s batter Virat Kohli had a torrid outing with the bat on Sunday in the ongoing World Cup clash against England in Lucknow. Kohli departed for an ODI duck and fans looked disappointed. It was not just the fans but Kohli was upset with himself as well. After his wicket, the former India skipper was spotted exposing his anger in the dressing room and the video of the same has gone viral. He also hit the seat where he was sitting with his hand.
Kohli came out to bat when India lost Shubman Gill and he played a total of 8 deliveries. In the ninth over of the game, he wanted to hit it over the top against David Willey but then he miscued it completely and failed to find the distance. Ben Stokes, who was placed at mid-off, grabbed an easy catch.
Talking about the game between India and England, Jos Buttler won the toss and asked India to bat first In Lucknow. The Indians had a below-average start as they lost Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli in quick intervals. Iyer was the next one who got dismissed. Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul are currently batting at the crease and will look to power India to a decent total against England on Sunday.
Before coming to play this clash, India have won all of their games in the ongoing mega event so far while the English side have lost four games and are standing on the edge of getting eliminated from the race to the ODI World Cup 2023 playoffs.
During the toss, India’s skipper Rohit Sharma said, “ We wanted to bat first, we have had a good time batting second. It’s a good surface, it has played well for the 100 overs. It’s quite important to think like that and is also important to play well. We have played some good cricket. It's always good to have a break. It's nice to come back here and get back into business. We are playing the same team we played in the last game.”
