Fans were highly impressed with Virat Kohli's dominating show against England, and so were Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), the side Kohli represents in the Indian Premier League (IPL). As Kohli smashed a flurry of records during the ODI and T20I series, RCB flaunted Kohli’s milestones by comparing him to Thanos, supervillain of movie franchise Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Team India had a memorable series against England as they defeated the Three Lions in all three formats. Although the visitors put up a formidable fight in the white-ball leg of the tour, the home team, who clinched the Test series 3-1, won the T20I series 3-2 and ODI series 2-1. One Indian player who stood out in the challenging series was the captain Virat Kohli. While the talismanic batsman couldn’t live up to his standards during the Test series, he unleashed his A-game during the limited-over games. He smashed three half-centuries during the T20I series, earning the Man of the Series Award, before registering back to back fifties in ODIs.
