India vs England 3rd T20I ended on a sad note for India as the hosts lost by eight wickets against a strong England side.

Even though the Indian top order batsmen struggled to score against the England bowler, Virat Kohli showed resilience and stood at the crease. He upped the ante in the later part of the innings. Eventually he scored 77 of 46 balls.

As the English fast-bowlers tried to take advantage of the bounce and carry in the pitch, they started bowling short deliveries to Virat Kohli, but the Indian captain was not short of answers. In the picture he is pulling Mark Wood for a six.

Innovation is the key! When all the other batsmen were struggling to cope up with the onslaught of English fast bowlers, Virat Kohli stood at the crease even playing the yorker balls for boundaries.

Virat is encouraging Washington Sundar after he picked up David Malan. At that point in the match, India still had a chance as England's score was 81-2.

Commitment not just with the bat, but in the field as well.

Dissapointed Virat Kohli sits on the ground during India vs England 3rd T20I. "I don't think our body language in the second half was acceptable in the field. Defending 160, you need intensity and energy and that was lacking tonight," the captain said.

Nonetheless, the series is far from over for India. There are two matches remaining in the series and India can very well bounce back.
