Virat Kohli, who played a match-winning inning in their opening match against Australia, was struck with a furious bouncer by Starc in the 34th over. After a little checkup for concussion, he looked fine and was back to bat, hitting a four on the very next ball. Starc did apologize, showing concern right after the bouncer struck his helmet.
India’s star opener, Shubhman Gill, is already unfit to play after testing positive for dengue. Ishan Kishan opened instead of him, along with skipper Rohit Sharma, who were both dismissed for a duck against Australia.
