Child mimics Shah Rukh Khan moment inspired by Virat Kohli's touching gesture in IND vs ENG ODI

With his dynamic performance on the field, the 37-year-old left a strong impression. He not only displayed remarkable energy but also made a significant impact with his crucial catches of Joe Root and Gus Atkinson.

He also shared a heartwarming moment with a young fan near the boundary line who was doing the ball boy duties. The young fan was mesmerised when Kohli shook his hands as an edited video went viral on social media where the kid's reaction was compared to Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan's from his blockbuster movie Om Shanti Om.

Kohli made a match-winning half-century when he last played an ODI at this venue against West Indies in 2019. However, he failed to replicate the same outing on Sunday and was dismissed for just 5. The star batter edged the ball behind the stumps to Jos Buttler off Adil Rashid's delivery.

Rohit Sharma returns to form with a majestic ton

However, Rohit Sharma returned to form with a blistering century and silenced the critics who were questioning his batting credentials. The swashbuckling opener smashed 119 runs off 90 balls, which was embellished with 12 fours and seven sixes. En route to his brilliant knock, Rohit also became the player with the second most sixes in ODIs.

The Indian skipper is now behind former Pakistan all-rounder Shahid Afridi's tally, who, during his illustrious career, smashed 351 sixes in the ODIs.

Earlier, Ben Duckett and Joe Root both scored half-centuries to help England reach 304 all out in the second ODI.

Duckett blasted 65 off 56 balls, while Root contributed with 69. Liam Livingstone added 41, pushing England past the 300 mark. However, three run outs in the final two overs saw England bowled out for 304 in 49.5 overs.

Indian spinner Ravindra Jadeja impressed with figures of 3-35 from his 10 overs.
