India cricket team returned to winning ways as Joe Root’s unbeaten 99-run knock guided England to a 4-wicket win the 2nd ODI. This game could also possibly be Rohit Sharma’s penultimate match before he brings the curtains down on his international career. The star looked quite rusty once again and played his slowest ODI knock on Thursday. Meanwhile, it has come to light that Sanju Samson was dropped from the squad for ZIM T20Is against Gautam Gambhir’s wishes. In league cricket, the record held by Punjab Kings for the highest run-chase in T20s was shattered. On that note, let’s take a look at top headlines from Thursday.

It’s 1-1. The series has reached parity after Joe Root guided England towards a hard-fought 4-wicket victory over India at Cardiff. The former Three Lions skipper was the difference-maker between the two sides at Sophie Gardens. Although India squandered the opportunity by collapsing from 178/3 to 233/10 , Root stood between India and victory. Joe Root stands tall The 35-year-old fell one short of registering his 21st ODI hundred, extending his record as England’s most prolific batter in 50-over cricket. No other English batter crossed the 30-run mark in the 234-run chase, and then there was Root, who remained unbeaten on 99. He was the anchor England needed, and he delivered.

The last time India cricket team star Virat Kohli got an ODI century in England was way back in 2011. Yes, you read that right. It has been 15 long years since the run-machine has breached the triple-figure mark on English soil. Since then, he has scored 11 half-centuries, which include five back-to-back ones in the 2019 ODI World Cup , scored a lot of runs. But a century hasn’t been hit. Now, Kohli has a golden chance to do so in Cardiff – the same venue where he scored his only century on English soil – in the ENG vs IND 2nd ODI. However, that will largely hinge on Virat’s ability to get into the groove, especially since he has had a lack of game time since the conclusion of the IPL 2026. Can Virat Kohli end 15-year century drought in England? The last and the only time Virat Kohli scored a century in England was on 16 September 2011. On that fateful day, which also happened to be his 5th ODI against ENG, the run-machine who was still a budding s...
