Coming to play his first ODI match after six months, Virat Kohli was expected to get a big score after the openers gave a great start to the innings. The right-hander also looked in great touch when he got his first runs with a boundary through straight drive against Gus Atkinson in the 18th over. However, his innings couldn’t last long as Adil Rashid trapped him in the 20th over and Phil Salt did no mistake in grabbing the ball behind the stumps. Kohli got out after scoring a mere 5 runs off eight balls as India lost their second wicket at the score of 150 runs in 19.3 overs.
