Conversation between opponents is normal in cricket, but the chat between Virat Kohli and Brendon McCullum caught everyone’s attention because of its timing. Only a couple of days before the first of the three-match ODI series between India and England, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) dismissed McCullum from the Test team’s head coach position.

By winning the ODI match on July 14, the India National Cricket Team registered their first win in their ongoing UK tour, after being defeated in six matches in a row. Under the leadership of Shreyas Iyer, the Men in Blue suffered 6 defeats and one washed-out match in 7 T20Is in the ongoing tour.
Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah, and Rohit Sharma marked their returns in the format through last night’s match. While Rohit Sharma featured in the ODI series against Afghanistan a few weeks ago, Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah returned to the format after long absences. Bumrah featured in an ODI match after almost a 2-year gap, and Virat missed the previous ODI series against Afghanistan because of a hamstring injury.

More than the batting, Virat caught the eye because of his moment with Brendon McCullum, who was sacked as England’s Test team coach only a couple of days before. After the match, they greeted each other with a smile and started a conversation which took place for about one minute.
