Kohli is asked about Dhoni: “It’s very unfortunate that people jump to conclusions. When it doesn’t go well people pounce on him. It was a bad day for everyone. The idea was to take the innings deep.”
Still, amid all that Dhoni nonsense we should say a word for Joe Root, who got a nicely paced century (although, hands up, even at a strike rate of about 97 I thought might have been a bit slow before Dhoni came to the crease), plus England’s spinners, who were both exceptional. Hats off also to Mo Ali and Adil Rashid, who between them got 3-80 in their combined 20 overs.
