Cardiff, July 6
Mahendra Singh Dhoni clobbered 22 runs in the final over to lift India to 148/5 in testing conditions in the second T20 International against England here on Friday.
Skipper Virat Kohli top-scored with 47 against a much-improved England bowling, but it was Dhoni’s effort that gave India’s total a semblance respectability.
Playing in his 500th international, Dhoni remained unbeaten on 32 off 24 balls.
Sent into bat, India were off to an inauspicious start, losing the opening duo of Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan and last game’s centurion KL Rahul with just 22 runs on the board.
However, Kohli stood firm amid the ruins and found an able ally in Suresh Raina (27), with whom the captain added 57 runs for the fourth wicket before Dhoni took over. — PTI
