WATCH: Virat Kohli's Bizarre Reaction to DRS Decision in Second ODI against England

New Delhi: Indian cricket fans are increasingly concerned about Virat Kohli's recent performance after he faced another setback in the second ODI against England. Kohli, who missed the first match due to a knee injury, returned to the lineup but failed to make a significant impact. He was dismissed caught behind off the bowling of Adil Rashid, adding to the worries surrounding his form.

Kohli was ruled not out by the on-field umpire, but the England team opted to challenge the decision. As Kohli headed back to the dugout, the ultra edge technology indicated a spike when the ball went past his bat. Kohli appeared astonished, unable to comprehend the edge, and his reaction quickly gained popularity on social media.

Kohli has faced challenges in Test cricket over the past few years, but One Day Internationals (ODIs) have traditionally been his strength. There were high hopes that the experienced batter would regain his form in this format; however, he was unable to do so. With the Champions Trophy approaching, India would have preferred to see Kohli score some runs, but his lack of performance raises significant concerns for Gautam Gambhir. Additionally, Kohli’s disappointing performance in the second ODI drew considerable criticism from social media users.

In the second ODI, while Kohli was unable to find his rhythm, Rohit Sharma showcased an impressive performance against the England team. Rohit hit several sixes and achieved a remarkable century, marking his 32nd in One Day Internationals. Although he had also faced difficulties in scoring runs previously, his century comes as positive news for Indian supporters ahead of the Champions Trophy. Rohit completed his hundred in just 77 balls, featuring 10 fours and seven sixes.

Rohit’s century placed India on the winning side in the second ODI. Chasing 305, Rohit and Shubman’s partnership laid the foundation as Jadeja and Axar finished the game for the side. India won the game by four wickets in hand.
