Kohli scored 50 off 96 balls on Thursday. He was looking good a for a lot more when he perished to Ollie Robinson, trying to flick one to the leg side.
According to Inzamam, while Kohli would be disappointed at not having carried on, he played a key knock for the team. Speaking on his YouTube channel, the former Pakistan skipper said:
Inzamam added that the pitch wasn’t an easy one to bat on and hence India’s total of 191 is a lot better than what it actually looks. Inzamam explained:
Shardul Thakur’s fifty could prove vital at the end of the game: Inzamam-ul-Haq
India’s innings crumbled around Kohli’s resistance. After the Indian captain’s departure, it was Shardul Thakur who took India close to 200 with a blazing fifty - 57 off 36 balls.
Inzamam was mighty impressed with Thakur’s innings. Praising the all-rounder, he commented:
After Thakur’s innings lifted India to 191, the bowlers struck to restrict England to 53 for 3. Umesh Yadav gave the visitors a massive boost by breaching Joe Root’s (21) defence.
