Performance details
Reddy's presence bolsters India
Kohli was the only batter from India's top five to capitalize on his start. India lost Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Shreyas Iyer, and KL Rahul before the 100-run mark. Reddy, who started with a fine boundary at third man, rebuilt India's innings with Kohli. The duo constantly rotated the strike to get India past 150. Sixes in back-to-back overs helped Reddy reach his half-century off 51 balls.
