When Indian skipper Virat Kohli put England in to bat in the first ODI at Trent Bridge here yesterday, there were fears the home team may bat India out of the match. The reason for that apprehension that England had posted 481 for six, a world record score in ODIs, last month against Australia at the very venue.
And the way openers Jason Roy and Jonny Bairstow began, putting on 73 in quick time, things looked ominous for India. That's the time Kohli introduced chinaman bowler Kuldeep Yadav. And within a matter of a few deliveries, he ensured that England did not run away to a huge total.
