Mumbai Indians’ pocket dynamo Ishan Kishan embraced Virat Kohli’s philosophy to the core to play an explosive knock before the Indian skipper hit form to take India to a thumping seven-wicket win over England in the second T20 international here on Sunday.

About 100,000 fans left the Narendra Modi Stadium, celebrating their hero—Kohli’s return to form with a match-winning, unbeaten 73 that also marked him completing 3,000 runs in the international T20 format.  
 
Kohli had promised before the five-match series that the top order will play ‘freely’. And, it was a ‘paisa vasool’ performance for the Sunday crowd that almost filled up the 130,000 capacity stadium in Motera.
