'For 60 Overs, They Should Feel Like Hell': Virat Kohli's Fiery Speech At Lord's Goes Viral
The motivational speech by Virat Kohli is becoming quite viral on social media. During this, the Indian skipper can be heard telling his teammates 'England must feel like hell in 60 overs'.
Virat Kohli-led team India registered a historic win by defeating England by 151 runs in the India vs England Lord's Test on Tuesday. This is India's third win so far at the iconic Lord's ground and post this win, the visitors have now taken a 1-0 lead in the Ind vs Eng five-match Test series.
On the fifth and final day of the 2nd Test, India had set a target of 272 runs in 60 overs against England. After a heroic show from the batsmen, Indian bowlers bundled up the English team for 120 runs in the 52nd over itself. After India's victory, #60overs started trending on social media.
The reason was captain Virat Kohli's fiery motivational speech ahead of the start of England's second innings, when the Indian team was coming down to defend 272-run total.

Things miraculously turned in India's favour. It seems Kohli's speech proved to be very effective as both England openers had already returned to the pavilion. After this, captain Joe Root tried to hold the fort for his team, but ultimately fell for just 33 runs. For India, Mohammad Siraj (4/32) and Jasprit Bumrah (3/33) were the pick of bowlers.
Resuming Day 5 on 181/6, India dealt with a big blow after in-form Rishbah Pant was sent packing early on by Ollie Robinson. But, tailenders Shami and Bumrah went on to stitch a record-breaking 89-run partnership in the opening session - India's first-ever 50-plus 9th wicket stand - to help their squad claw back into the game.
