India, who have won all their five matches in the current World Cup, lost the toss in their sixth match and went into bat against England, losing 2 wickets in the first power play and picking up 35 runs.
The English bowlers kept India’s two openers under pressure from the start. India managed to get only 4 runs in 2 overs today. Then Rohit Sharma ran a rampage. But could not take their opening pair far.
This pair was broken by Shubman Gill’s departure for the team’s 26 runs. Shubman Gill, who scored 9 runs off 13 balls, was bowled by Chris Woakes and returned to Sajghar. On his departure, India broke the opening pair for 26 runs.
After the loss of the first wicket, England pressed India further. India managed to score only 1 run in 4 balls after 2 overs after the first wicket.
Under pressure, India then lost their second wicket. Virat Kohli went back before opening the run book. He returned after being caught by Ben Stokes at mid-off off David Willey.
Rohit Sharma and Shreyas Iyer led the Indian team losing 2 wickets for 27 runs. India is trying to turn around by relying on this pair. In the first power play, India lost 2 wickets and picked up 35 runs.
