Adil Rashid to Rohit, FOUR, in the air and clears mid-on comfortably. Looked like a mishit but even Rohit’s mishits are enough to evade the fielders. Flighted full delivery and Rohit wanted to capitalize on mid-on being inside the ring, goes through with the shot and cue-ends it over Root. Couple of bounces and into the […]

Mark Wood to Kohli, FOUR, classical Kohli stroke! What a way to get off the mark! Overcooked delivery from Wood. Well wide outside off as well and Kohli unfurls the cover drive in all its grandeur. Picks the gap and it rockets away. Here is the clip of that video:

Adil Rashid to Kohli, out Stumped!! Kohli is gone. Has not finished a run-chase. That is news. But a lovely delivery traps him. The flighted ball outside off lured him to a drive but the ball spun past his outside edge. The batsman had his back foot lurking outside his crease and the keeper did the rest. […]

Moeen Ali to Rohit, SIX, tango down the track, the flighted ball is music to him and then in sync with the rhythm, swipes it across the line over cow corner for a maximum. Easy peasy. Rohit Sharma scored unbeaten 137 runs off just 114 balls with the help of 15 fours and 4 sixes and […]

Moeen Ali to Rohit, SIX, it might take two to tango but it takes one hand for Rohit to lift a six over long-off. The small boundaries do help though. Flighted ball, the batsman obliged by coming down and then just lifted the ball away to get a maximum. Here is the clip of that video:

Adil Rashid to Rohit, SIX, 100 off 82 balls for the Hitman! 18th in ODI cricket. That was full and it went the journey as the batsman expanded his tentacles into the stroke to send it over long-on. The dressing room is up and applauding. Not too many emotions for a man who has scored back to back […]

Stokes to Kohli, FOUR, half volley and Kohli puts it away with disdain. A click for the cameramen. The line was outside off and Kohli steps across to cream it wide of mid-off, raced away to the fence in a hurry. Here is the clip of that video: birriliant 4 by kohli #ENGvIND pic.twitter.com/C11bGVYTnf — Penguin […]

Mark Wood to Rohit, SIX, vintage Rohit Sharma! These are the kind of shots that define the man – pure class! Overpitched delivery outside off, any other batsman would have gone hard at the ball but not Rohit. Just gets forward and extends the drive into a loft. All timing as it goes straight over the bowler’s head, […]

Kuldeep Yadav to Stokes, out Caught by S Kaul!! What an absolute blinder! It’s the debutant at backward point who dives to his right to take a corker of a catch. Maiden five-wicket haul in ODIs for Kuldeep. What a tour he is having! Spinning a web around the English batsmen who have struggled throughout. This one is a fielder’s […]

U Yadav to Plunkett, out Plunkett Run Out!! 1 run completed. The second run was never on but with this being the last over, England had no option but to go for it. Wide yorker that Plunkett squeezes to deep backward point, wanted to be back on strike but Raina is quick on the ball and unleashes […]
