Virat Kohli scores his first-ever ODI fifty at Lord's

Virat Kohli reached his first-ever ODI half-century at Lord's during India's chase in the third ODI against England. The milestone came in the 42nd over when he smashed Will Jacks for a huge six straight down the ground. It was Kohli's first fifty at Lord's across all three international formats.

The legendary batter brought up his half-century in style with a clean strike over long-on. There were no big celebrations from the former India captain, as he remained focused on helping India chase the massive target. His innings once again showed his calmness and ability to perform under pressure.

Kohli continued to bat fluently before scoring 74 runs from just 60 balls. Although his fighting knock kept India in the contest, it was not enough to complete the chase as England won the match by 27 runs and sealed the three-match ODI series 2-1.

A venue that had eluded him — Kohli's Lord's record before this knock

Kohli finally ended that run with a brilliant half-century during India's chase of 388. He reached his first-ever ODI fifty at Lord's with a massive six and looked in excellent touch throughout his innings. The knock was a timely reminder of his class on one of cricket's biggest stages.

The former India captain scored 74 runs from just 60 balls, hitting three sixes and four fours. Although his fighting innings was not enough to take India over the line, Kohli's performance at Lord's was one of the few positives for the visitors in the series decider.
