Captain Rohit Sharma`s solid 33 notwithstanding, India were on shaky grounds at 50 for 3 after 15 overs against England in the ICC World Cup 2023 league stage clash on Sunday. After being asked to bat first, India witnessed a tumultuous beginning after losing two wickets in the space of one run.
Shubman Gill was the first to get dismissed as he was castled by pacer Chris Woakes for nine. India were 26 for 1 then. An even bigger shock was awaiting India as in-form Virat Kohli departed for a nine-ball duck, his first in ODIs this year. Left-arm quick David Willey claimed the prized scalp after Kohli played a loose shot to be caught at mid-off by Ben Stokes and walked off to stunned silence at Lucknow`s Ekana Stadium. Shreyas Iyer soon followed the suit, clattering Woakes to Mark Wood at mid-on after making four as India slipped to 40-3 in 12 overs.
