New Delhi: Team India, touring England, had a disappointing start On Day 1 in the ongoing 5th Test match at Birmingham. Put to bat first after losing the toss, India lost 5 wickets for 98 runs, which included the most important wicket of ex-India skipper and senior batter Virat Kohli. The star batter endured yet another batting nightmare on Friday as was sent back to the pavilion by England's young fast bowler Matty Potts for just 11 runs. It was an unfortunate dismissal for Kohli as he wanted to leave the second ball of the 25th over, which got the inner edge of his bat and hit the stumps. After Kohli's dismissal, fans brutally trolled him on Twitter.
Talking about the competition, till the time of writing the news, India has scored 167/5. Ravindra Jadeja is present along with Rishabh Pant at the crease. India's 5 wickets fell in the form of Shubman Gill (17), Cheteshwar Pujara (13), Hanuma Vihari (20), Virat Kohli (11) and Shreyas Iyer (15). While Anderson dismissed Gill, Pujara and Virat Kohli, Matty Potts showed Hanuma Vihari and Virat Kohli the way to the pavilion.
Early lunch had to be taken due to rain, by that time Team India had scored 53 runs for the loss of 2 wickets. The start of the second session was also delayed due to wet ground.
