It was a kind of onslaught that left Indian bowlers out of ideas. The likes of Kuldeep Yadav and Krunal Pandya were left clueless with some clean hitting. None of the strokes that the likes of Jason Roy, Jonny Bairstow and Ben Stokes played against India here on Friday could be described as slogs. No wonder then Indian skipper Virat Kohli and pacer Prasidh Krishna credited England batsmen and at the same time admitted that they could have bowled better.
“We didn’t execute too well but I thought they batted brilliantly. It was some of the most amazing batting you’ll see when chasing. They totally blew us away during that partnership of Jonny and Ben Stokes. We didn’t even have a chance during that partnership,” Kohli said during the post-match presentation.
