Virat Kohli became the first Indian player to set a record in a test match against England – NewzDaddy

In ongoing India vs. England Birmingham Test, the England cricket team’s first innings was bowled out for 284 runs. Jonny Bairstow played a daring shot during this to give England a century. In addition to Jasprit Bumrah’s three wickets, Mohammad Siraj claimed the maximum four for India.

In the meantime, former India captain Virat Kohli made history by being the first Indian to record more than 50 catches in international cricket against two different opponents.

During England’s opening innings, Jonny Bairstow was caught by Virat Kohli. With this, he made 50 of his attempts when playing England. 55 catches have been made by the veteran batsman against Australia.

In his time playing for India, Kohli has become the only player to make more than 50 catches against any two sides. Rahul Dravid, the head coach of team India, currently holds the top record with 210 catches in Test matches.

Importantly, India was all out after scoring 416 runs in the first inning. England responded by scoring 284 runs in their opening inning. The Indian squad will try to win the Pataudi Trophy because they are currently leading the series 2-1 and will have a much stronger starting position than England.

Both nations have completed an impressive test series, with India defeating Sri Lanka 2-0 at home and England defeating New Zealand similarly at home (3-0). Given the significance of this test match, the test itself will be memorable for both teams.
