Virat-Kohli-England-vs-India-T20I-2014

 This was the eighth Twenty20 International between these two sides. (Also Read: Only T20I: England v India, Birmingham)

Jason Roy, Ambati Rayudu and Karn Sharma were making their T20I debut. A total of 70 and 49 players have now represented England and India in T20Is respectively.

MS Dhoni was playing his 50th Twenty20 International match. He became first Indian to do so. By an odd coincidence his counterpart Eoin Morgan was also playing his 50th match.

R Ashwin conceded 17 runs in first over of England innings – most expensive opening over of the match by an Indian bowler. The previous record was of 13 runs.

Eoin Morgan (71) became first England captain to score a fifty in T20 Internationals since November 2009 when Paul Collingwood made 57 against South Africa at Johannesburg.

Morgan scored 15 runs off his first 15 balls (Strike-rate 100.00). Of his next 16 balls he scored 56 (strike-rate 350.00).

Ajinkya Rahane became first Indian and only the fifth player to take four catches in the field in a T20I match. Others to perform this feat are Darren Sammy (West Indies v Ireland, Providence, 2010), Peter Borren (Netherlands vs Bangladesh, Voorburg, 2012), Corey Anderson (New Zealand v South Africa, Port Elizabeth, 2012) and Dinesh Chandimal (Sri Lanka v Bangladesh, Chittagong, 2014).

Virat Kohli (66) scored his ninth fifty in Twenty20 Internationals – most by an Indian. He went past Yuvraj Singh’s record of 8 fifties.

Kohli also became India’s leading run-scorer in Twenty20 International. He went ahead of Yuvraj Singh’s tally of 968 runs. Interestingly it took Kohli 11 innings fewer than Yuvraj to beat his record.

It was the fourth time MS Dhoni remained unbeaten in a failed run-chase by India. The list:

30* v England, Lord’s, 2009 (India lost by 3 runs)

48* v Australia, Sydney, 2012 (India lost by 31 runs)

22* v New Zealand, Chennai, 2012 (India lost by 1 run)

27* v England, Birmingham, 2014 (India lost by 3 runs) 

India have now lost all three Twenty20 Internationals against England in England.

Story behind Yusuf Pathan jersey No. '999'

Like in life, in sports too there are people who remain an enigma. At least to those who watch them from the outside. They fascinate and frustrate in equal measures. At times, one feels they are surviving on their reputation and not its execution. But these enigmatic geniuses often find someone who understands their worth, who believes in them as much as they believe in themselves. Yusuf Pathan is an enigma. Everyone knows of his supreme leather-pounding power and they love him for that. But to their dismay they don’t see that skill being converted into runs. But those close to him and his team mates see what others can’t. His Kolkata Knight Riders skipper, Gautam Gambhir, surely does.  Questions have been raised about Pathan’s place in the KKR Playing XI since the beginning of the 2012 IPL. And with every low score against his name, they have gotten louder. In IPL 2013, Pathan has played three matches so far and scored 18*, 0 and 27.  They’re not big scores but they’

It was breathtaking knock by the opener that set-up the match for India. The hosts then bowled the visitors out for 251 to take a 4-0 lead in the series.  (Also Read:  Rohit Sharma 264 Runs - Stats: India vs Sri Lanka, 4th ODI ) Post by Indian Cricket Team Updates .

Misbah-ul-Haq:  "It was really good toss to win and the spell by Junaid Khan was very good. He has done it before in a Test match in Sri Lanka. Good to see that the bowlers pitched in the right areas in helping conditions. There was a change in the nature of the pitch. It was more difficult to play in the first half, very well played by Dhoni. But Nasir played an extremely good knock and showed the way by finishing the game. Humidity
