The Kuldeep Yadav wrist-left arm proved to be an indecipherable code for England drummers as a sea of blue at Old Trafford roars India to victory in the first of three Twenty20s between these two sides.
English footballers who faced Colombia in Moscow were barely felt here. The majority of the 23,000 players to be pitched were applauding Virat Kohli's new club, which paid off the cacophonous support by beating 160 for a comfortable eight-wicket win and an important statement from branded tourists. this summer
KL Rahul unbeaten. 101 of 54 bullets may have dropped the tracks with 10 bullets to spare in a blaze of 10 fours and five sixes but there was no question where the difference lies; Kuldeep's previous numbers of five for 24 had reduced a confusing England to 159 for eight of 20 overs. It is no wonder that Kohli is so pleased with the current heatwave. This lean total, after Morgan saw a seventh successive pitch going against him this summer at home, was supported by Jos Buttler's latest masterclbad – a 46-ball 69 composed of sumptuous pullovers and wrist controls – but his was essentially alone
They had also started with a good lick, Jason Roy opening the door with a frenzy of 30 balls, only for his death – cutting on the stumps by the shot shot that had met the fresh air several times before – to bring Alex Hales to the pen for what turned out to be a tortuous eight-eight who erased the works.
While Buttler had taken Hardik Pandya for 18 off the 11th to see England 95 for one, the inability of Hales to go ahead was trying to apply drag and of course that he fell to Kuldeep, bowled trying to sweep what would have been his first limit. While Ben Stokes is aiming for a comeback from injury, Hales needs a score in Cardiff on Friday.
The real impact of Kuldeep would come in his next stint, the 14th hole, when he snatched guts from three victims. Morgan was caught off a slog sweep and then, in the space of two bullets, Jonny Bairstow and Joe Root were perplexed for the golden ducks.
When MS Dhoni badped bullets for the latter, it was a 33rd record of dismissal for the former T20 captain. Kohli decided to keep the Kuldeep final in his back pocket, but the left shipowner returned for the 18th and, with Moeen Ali already gone to cut Pandya to six, he duly packed his five-wicket comma when Kohli held Buttler
It would have taken two bullets soon, after KL Rahul gave life to the Englishman. While Chris Jordan was the third man to come out of the first ball – caught and knocked down by Umesh Yadav from his pad – David Willey was not in the mood to come down with a groan, blowing 29 of 15 balls, adding a touch of combat in a few verbal with Bhuvneshwar Kumar, and an early breakthrough in the pursuit when Shikhar Dhawan played in the first over.
Willey should have had a second too, with Roy putting Rahul 17 on the back. From there, number 3 took control of 123 in no time with the quietest Rohit Sharma.
The departure of the latter with 30 races requested gave a last chance to the singing supporters to sing the name of Kohli. international century in this format, the Indian captain smoked Moeen on the long border to complete this unilateral victory.
