KOLKATA, 24 MARCH: Team India players and head coach Ravi Shastri had a gala time on Wednesday (24 March) after Virat Kohli and Co. defeated England in the first ODI of the three-match series in Pune on Tuesday (23 March).
Shastri took to Twitter to share a picture in which Virat Kohli, Shardul Thakur, Rishabh Pant, Krunal Pandya, Hardik Pandya, KL Rahul, Yuzvendra Chahal, Rohit Sharma and Shastri himself can be seen in a jovial mood.
With this win, India has gone 1-0 up in the three-match series. Both teams will now lock horns in the second ODI on Friday.
Earlier, Shikhar Dhawan (98) and Kohli (56) might have set the platform at the top, but it was Rahul (62*) and Krunal’s (58*) blitz in the end that propelled India’s score to 317/5. The duo added 111 of their 112 runs in the last nine overs as they sent the English bowlers on a leather hunt.
Shastri shared another photo where he could be seen sharing the frame with bowling coach Bharat Arun, Shikhar Dhawan and other members of the team. Shastri wrote, “With Jatt Ji in the house!”
