What is Virat Kohli's record at Lord's in ODIs?
Virat Kohli is heading into the third ODI against England on the back of a fluent half-century in Cardiff.
The third ODI between India and England is expected to be a riveting affair. The iconic Lord's Cricket Ground in London will be hosting the high-voltage game at the Lord's Cricket Ground in London on Sunday, July 19.
The series is level at 1-1 and there is everything to play for in the final ODI. One of India's key players in this upcoming contest is going to be Virat Kohli. The legendary batter was dismissed for just five runs in the first ODI at Edgbaston, Birmingham. Jofra Archer trapped him in front of the stumps. However, the former India captain bounced back emphatically in the second ODI at the Sophia Gardens in Cardiff.
Kohli smashed 65 runs off just 66 balls, hitting eight glorious boundaries. He was eventually dismissed by Archer, caught at third man by Adil Rashid.
Now, Kohli would want to make a match-winning contribution in the decisive third ODI and help England win the series. It is a fitting time to take a look at Kohli's ODI record at Lord's.
Interestingly, this is the only venue where Kohli hasn't scored an ODI half-century despite playing more than three matches. In the three outings at the Home of Cricket, the right-handed batter has scored only 77 runs at an average of 25.67 and a strike rate of 65.81. His highest score at this venue is just 45, which he made in 2018. This could be the last time the Delhi batter plays international cricket at Lord's. He would want to make a solid impact on Sunday and helping the team win the series is a goal that will motivate him immensely.
