When Kohli told team to give England 'hell' at Lord's

When Kohli told team to give England 'hell' at Lord's

THE Indian team responded really well to their captain's call when Virat Kohli told his teammates to give England "hell" during the hosts' fourth innings in the second innings at Lord's.

A video clip has emerged where Kohli is seen giving instructions to the players in a team huddle by the boundary.


India declared their second innings on 298 for 8 shortly after lunch on the final day - setting a target of 272 runs in a minimum of 60 overs.

"For 60 overs they should feel hell out there," Kohli could be heard saying in the team huddle, before England's hapless innings began where they lost both their openers, Rory Burns and Dom Sibley in two overs.

During that passage of play, Kohli was charged up and could be seen involved in frequent exchange of words with England batsmen, especially with Ollie Robinson before the hosts were bowled out for 121 in 51.5 overs.

Once India clinched the match by 151 runs to go one up in the series, quick hand shakes were done with England head coach Chris Silverwood denying any sort of animosity between the two sides.

“The two teams go hard on the park,” Silverwood was quoted as saying. He added: “Behind the scenes we seem to get on fine. I don't see any problems there. I just think it's played by two very passionate groups of people that want to do well for their country and are very proud of playing for their country. And I think that's what we're seeing.”

With the advantage now with India, Kohli's side would be eyeing a series win, which would be a fourth one in England, after previous victories in 1971, 1986 and 2007.

This Indian side has already won two series in Australia and a series in England could very well prove their mettle and class in Test cricket away from home.

Mariah Carey to headline Brighton Pride 2025: Iconic comeback set to break records

This summer, music legend Mariah Carey is set to light up the stage at Brighton Pride, marking her first UK performance since her 2019 Royal Albert Hall shows. Scheduled for August 2, 2025, at Preston Park, Carey’s highly anticipated appearance follows the cancellation of the 2020 event due to COVID-19. Known for her chart-topping hits like "Fantasy" and "Always Be My Baby," her performance is expected to draw massive crowds. Tickets go on sale February 20, and demand is expected to be high.

Paul Kemp, Brighton Pride’s Managing Director, shared his excitement, recalling the disappointment of 2020. “We’re thrilled to finally welcome Mariah this year,” Kemp said. “Pride is a celebration of love, diversity, and unity, and having a global icon like her headline makes this year’s event even more special.”

Are Kanye West and Bianca Censori breaking up after the viral Grammys stunt?

Kanye West, now legally known as Ye, and his wife, Bianca Censori, are once again at the centre of divorce rumours, this time following a series of controversies surrounding Ye. Reports suggest that the couple’s relationship has been strained due to Ye’s recent actions, including allegations of antisemitism and the backlash from selling swastika-themed merchandise.

Sources claim that Censori, 30, reached a breaking point, unwilling to be associated with Ye’s controversies any longer. The tension reportedly escalated after Censori’s near-nude appearance at the 2025 Grammy Awards, which drew widespread criticism. While Ye defended her bold outfit, calling her “smart, talented, brave, and hot,” the incident allegedly deepened the rift between them.
