Virat Kohli sent shockwaves through Indian fans as he narrowly escaped a run-out in the third and final ODI against England at the Narendra Modi Stadium on February 12. For a brief moment, every heartbeat in the stadium and across the nation seemed to pause as Kohli came dangerously close to being dismissed.

After being put to bat first, India had a decent start but suffered an early blow when captain Rohit Sharma was dismissed for just 1 off 2 balls. Following his departure, Virat Kohli stepped in and began to stabilize the innings alongside Shubman Gill, forming a crucial partnership. However, an almost disastrous moment soon followed.

The tense moment unfolded in the 7th over when Kohli took off for a risky single off Saqib Mahmood’s delivery. He played the ball towards mid-on and set off for a run, but Shubman Gill quickly sensed the danger and rightly sent him back. The fielder, though on the move, threw the ball off-balance, resulting in a weak attempt that allowed Kohli just enough time to dive back into the crease before Phil Salt could remove the bails. A direct hit could have ended his innings, leaving fans with their hearts in their mouths.

India Eyeing a Clean Sweep Against England

At the time of writing, India are at 39/1 in 7 overs, with Kohli and Gill looking solid at the crease. Having already secured a 2-0 lead in the series, India are aiming for a clean sweep, while England are fighting to salvage their pride.
