After early wickets of Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma, India was looking in a spot of bother when KL Rahul and Virat Kohli paired up to steady the ship. Both batted brilliantly and gave India the platform that was required for aggressive batsmen like Rishabh Pant and Hardik Pandya to capitalize. Virat Kohli got a brilliant 50 and got out to a delivery from Adil Rashid. Virat Kohli scored a brilliant 66. 


The hero of the innings was KL Rahul. India was in a spot of bother when KL came out to bat. He batted brilliantly for his 108. He played some really crisp and elegant shots. Being out of form for the whole T20 series, Rahul has made a big comeback statement with a half-century in the first ODI and a century here today.



Rishabh Pant, who was included in the team due to the injury to Shreyas Iyer, played aggressive innings to take India to a formidable total. He was careful at the start of his innings but once he got in, he showed his power and potential as a batsman.


In the end overs, Hardik and Krunal gave India the finish they wanted and stretch the total to 336. Overall good first innings total for India to defend. England has a huge task ahead of them. They have started well just like in the previous match. For England to pull this off, they have to depend on their opening partnership to do the bulk of the scoring.
