Wed Feb 12 14:10:00 UTC 2025: **Kohli and Livingstone Share Laugh After Close DRS Call in India’s ODI Victory**
Ahmedabad, India (February 12, 2025) – Virat Kohli’s 72nd ODI half-century and a playful exchange with future Royal Challengers Bangalore teammate Liam Livingstone highlighted India’s dominant 356-run total against England in the final ODI at the Narendra Modi Stadium today.
Kohli survived a close LBW appeal by Adil Rashid, with the ball tracker showing it just outside leg stump. Livingstone’s good-natured ribbing following the DRS review led to a lighthearted moment between the two players on the field. The pair will be teammates in the upcoming IPL season.
Kohli’s half-century, following recent poor performances, helped alleviate pressure on the Indian star. His innings, along with Shubman Gill’s century and contributions from Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul, set up a commanding victory for India. While Rashid dismissed Kohli later in the innings, the Indian team secured a comfortable win, leaving a positive impression after the entertaining banter on the field.
