Indian batsmen MS Dhoni and Kedar Jadhav drew flak from Twiterrati for their batting performance in the last 5 overs against England in Birmingham on Sunday. England beat India by 31 runs to hand Virat Kohli and his team their first loss in the 2019 World Cup.
India looked on track in the middle overs while chasing England's massive total of 337 with big contributions by Rohit Sharma who hit his third century of the tournament and Virat Kohli who notched up his fifth fifty in a row. Cameos by Rishab Pant and Hardik Pandya set up the game nicely as India required 71 runs off the last 5 overs with MS Dhoni and Kedar Jadhav in the middle. But the two middle-order batters could only score 40 runs and India lost the match by 31 runs.
