The second match of the three-match ODI series between India and England is being played on July 16 at the Sophia Gardens ground in Cardiff. The Indian team did not have a good start in the match and captain Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill got out early and returned to the pavilion. After this, experienced batsman Virat Kohli took the responsibility and batted brilliantly, took charge of the team’s innings and scored a fifty.

During this period, Virat Kohli also achieved a big personal achievement. He achieved the distinction of becoming the batsman who scored the most international runs for India on English soil, breaking the record of former Indian captain Rahul Dravid. Before the match, Kohli had 2642 runs in his name and he needed only four runs to surpass Dravid’s record of 2645 runs. He achieved this feat in the initial session of his innings itself. However, the world record for scoring the most international runs in England is in the name of the great West Indies batsman Sir Vivian Richards, who scored 3402 runs in 63 innings.

Rohit-Virat pair created new history

Virat Kohli not only made a personal record but also made another big achievement with Rohit Sharma. Both the batsmen completed 8000 partnership runs in ODI cricket. This pair is among the most successful batting pairs of India and has been continuously making important contributions to the team in big matches. Although Rohit Sharma was out after scoring 26 runs in 47 balls, but Virat kept the hopes of the Indian team alive with his half-century. He was out after scoring 65 runs.
