Virat Kohli and Kedar Jadhav hit centuries and combined in a 200-run stand to help India comfortably chase down a steep target of 351 against England and win the first one-day international by three wickets on Sunday.
India’s chase seemed over when England reduced them to 63-4 in the 12th over but captain Kohli and local boy Jadhav turned the match on its head with the hosts reaching the target with 11 balls to spare to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
Former England captain Michael Vaughn could not stop gushing over Kohli’s stupendous record in run-chases.
The fans could just not understand how Kohli pulls it off time and again.
Kedar Jadhav came in for his share of praise as well.
Kedar Jadhav ,take a bow.
An innings one dreams to play.#INDvENG— Mohammad Kaif (@MohammadKaif) January 15, 2017
But the day did belong to Kohli, ultimately. Leading from the front as always.
And no one summed it up better than Piers Morgan.
What a player!
