Manchester: Former India skipper Virat Kohli lauded the team’s efforts following Rishabh Pant’s masterclass and Hardik Pandya’s all-around show which powered the tourists to a 2-1 series win against England in Manchester Sunday.
At one point of time, India were 38/3 with skipper Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, and Kohli all back in the hut but Pant and Pandya stitched a 133-run stand in just 115 balls to take the visiting side home.
