Kohli goes past Mathews’ England batting record, but secures embarrassing fielding record

India skipper Virat Kohli continued his good form by scoring an unbeaten 77 off 46 balls in the 3rd match of the 5 match T20I series against England, despite losing the game.

His 77* today became the highest score by a captain against England in T20 internationals.

Previously, it was Sri Lanka’s Angelo Mathews who held the record when he scored 73* against England in Delhi back in 2016.
