Virat Kohli, Ravindra Jadeja headline acts for India in 2013 Champions Trophy final
India batted first after constant rain at the venue reduced the match to a 20-overs affair. After being reduced to 66-5 in 13 overs, Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja staged a rescue effort and took India to a respectable total of 129-7. England’s innings began on an equally unsteady note but a 64-run partnership between Eoin Morgan and Ravi Bopara put hosts on course to overhaul India’s total. However, some sharp leadership skills by MS Dhoni set off four wickets in a space of seven balls which stemmed England’s run flow. Ravichandran Ashwin bowled an excellent last over, thus allowing India to get away with a five-run win.
