India vs England 2nd T20I | Eight things you might have missed from the Cardiff T20I

no image

07/07/2018

With the FIFA World Cup quarterfinal taking place at the same time as the 2nd T20I, a few fans would have missed the cricket. Don't worry, we here at SportsCafe have compiled a list of things that you might've missed while you were busy watching Brazil getting knocked out of yet another World Cup.

The unfortunate runout

Shikhar Dhawan got run out despite having almost his entire body across the line. He lost control of the bat while taking a single. Very unfortunate indeed!

The MSD entry!

Even though he was miles away from home, MS Dhoni, when he walked into the Sophia Gardens, would have felt as if he was back at Chepauk. The Indian fans in the stadium made sure he felt at home as he was welcomed with Dhoni chants.

MS Dhoni's 500th international match

MS Dhoni became the 3rd Indian and the first wicket-keeper batsman to play 500 international matches. Yet another Milestone for MSD!

Congratulations to who today plays in his 500th international match! 🙌

Fun Fact, or Maybe not!!

India's total today, 148/5, is the second-lowest total made by India batting all 20 overs and losing lesser than or equal to 5 wickets.

Dhoni - The Tennis player

After conquering cricket, looks like Dhoni is all set to dominate Tennis! Beware Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer!

An Emotional Roller Coaster ride

These fans from the stadium mirrored our reactions back at home from Virat Kohli dropping Jos Buttler to Virat Kohli successfully taking his catch 2 balls later.

Jake Ball wasn't the only debutante today

This small girl's debut was marred as the Men in Blue failed to register a win against England.

Never go against the "Dhoni Review System"!

Even after Dhoni was clearly convinced that the ball was going outside leg stump, Kuldeep Yadav and Virat Kohli went against his judgement and lost the review.
