Uttarakhand Police on Friday took a dig at India skipper Virat Kohli after the Team India skipper was dismissed for a duck against England in the first T20I. “A helmet is not enough! It is necessary to drive in full consciousness or else you can get out on zero just like Kohli,” Uttarakhand Police’s official Twitter handle wrote. England secured a comfortable eight-wicket win over India in the first T20I here at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Friday.

The visitors delivered an all-round performance with bowl and bat to outplay the home team. After being asked to bat first, India only managed to score 124 runs from the allotted 20 overs. Shreyas Iyer (67) smashed a sensational half-century to rescue India from early blows but England kept taking wickets at regular intervals to restrict the hosts to 124/7.Chasing a target of 125 runs, England witnessed a brilliant start with both openers, Jos Buttler and Jason Roy, scoring regular boundaries. England, Roy was the highest run-getter with 49 runs. England chased down the target with 27 balls remaining. Jofra Archer was adjudged Man of the Match for his fine display of bowling. Archer returned with figures of 3-23 in his four overs. India and England will now lock horns in the second T20I at the same venue on Sunday.
