Virat Kohli is 41 runs away from scoring 2000 runs as skipper. He has 1959 runs from 34 innings and has six innings in hand to break AB de Villiers’s record of fastest to 2000 runs as skipper.
India have won all their four ODIs at the Holkar Stadium – two against England and one each against West Indies and South Africa.
A win in the third ODI would equal India’s longest winning streak – nine ODIs between 14 Nov 2008 and 05 Feb 2009. Kohli now has had three separate streaks of eight wins each.

“When we became world champions, we were playing with a different team. There was a different dynamic. The team has undergone some chopping and changing. We have to find a stable team and one which works out best for the 2019 World Cup.”
– David Warner reckoned that the current Australian ODI team was still a work in progress.
“They [Kuldeep and Chahal] are getting better day by day. But they are not taking things for granted, not taking things lightly, so that’s a good thing.”
– Ajinkya Rahane jumps in on the wrist spinner bandwagon.
