Records and stats from Virat Kohli and Kedar Jadhav's performance and the Pune ODI
India put up a performance of a lifetime recovering from 63/4 to chase down 350 to seal a memorable win against England in the first ODI in Pune. Along with calling the partnership with Kedar Jadhav a special one, Virat Kohli and co. made sure this match made a big impact in the history books.
Here are some of the major records of the day:
Individual records
2 – Kedar Jadhav has scored two centuries while batting at No.6. becoming the first Indian and 5th player in history to score two ODI centuries from the No.6 position.
7 – Amit Mishra being left out was the seventh time an Indian has taken a five-wicket haul and not made it into the team for the next match. Coincidently, the only other time Amit Mishra took 5 wickets in a match he was dropped for the next match as well.
9 – Virat Kohli has now been part of 9 double-century stands (5 chasing) in ODIs - ahead of Upul Tharanga and Ricky Ponting's 7.
17 – Virat Kohli equaled Sachin Tendulkar's record for most number of hundreds in the second innings but broke the little master's record of successful ODI run chases of 14.
29 – Kedar Jadhav took just 29 balls to get to his half-century which is the second fastest Indian fifty against England alongside Irfan Pathan. The fastest one is, of course, scored by MS Dhoni off just 26 balls in 2011.
33 – Ben Stokes took just 33 balls to get to his half-century which is the second fastest English fifty against India. The fastest one came in 1975 when Chris Old scored one in just 28 balls.
65 – For his quickfire ton off just 65 balls, Kedar Jadhav is now the 6th fastest Indian ODI centurion in history. The fastest Virat Kohli - 52 balls.
Team records
3 – India now hold the outright record of chasing 350+ targets in ODIs thrice. South Africa were the only team who had done it twice.
7 – England have managed to score 350+ scores seven times since the 2015 World Cup having managed just two before the mega event.
200 – The exceptional Kohli-Kedar stand of 200 runs was not able to overtake the 223-run 1997 Indian record for most runs scored by the 5th or lower wicket set by the middle order duo of Mohammad Azharuddin-Ajay Jadeja.
293 – India beat their own score of 256 to stay second on the list of most runs by a team after losing four wickets. The record is currently held by New Zealand for their 309 against Australia in 2007.
350 – England, too, managed to surpass their highest score against India by 12 runs. Their last highest score was in the 2011 World Cup where they managed 338 runs in Bangalore.
351 – India’s successful run chase is the fourth highest in history and the second highest for India who chased down 362 against Australia in Jaipur.
2005 – The last time when Indian openers together score less than 10 runs was 12 years back when India played South Africa in Hyderabad.
2009 – 2009 was the last time India won their first ODI of the calendar year. We all know what happened two years later. Can history repeat itself?
