India captain Virat Kohli was dismissed for a duck in the IND vs ENG 1st T20I match which visitors won quite comprehensively by eight wickets to take a 1-0 lead in the five-match series. Kohli was out for a five-ball duck after lofting an Adil Rashid delivery straight to Chris Jordan at mid-off. This was only the third time Kohli was out without scoring in T20I cricket. His dismissal for a duck inspired Uttarakhand police to raise awareness against rash driving.

England then smashed the target in 15.3 overs with eight wickets in hand to take the lead. Jason Roy, who was earlier not picked at the IPL 2021 player auction for his weakness against spin bowling, was the top scorer for the visitors with 49 runs from 32 balls while Jofra Archer was the pick of the bowlers with 3/23 in his four-over spell.
