India managed to chase down a target of 351 to beat England by three wickets in the first ODI at Pune on Sunday.
For the hosts, Virat Kohli and Kedar Jadhav were the stars of the show – both notching up centuries as they put on a 200-run partnership for the fifth wicket after India were 63/4 at one point.
While Kohli scored 122 from 105 deliveries, it is not often that he gets overshadowed in the middle. But that was exactly what happened at Pune as local boy Jadhav smashed a 76-ball 120.
As is to be expected, there was a lot of praise for the duo on Twitter with the likes of Sachin Tendulkar, VVS Laxman etc. hailing their efforts.
On the other hand, former England captain Michael Vaughan called Kohli the best batsman in all three formats of the game currently.

Consistently in awe of this man. I feel so lucky and privileged to commentate on his ridiculousness. That's why I said 380 #kohli #engvind

Kedar Jadhav has given tears of joy.#INDvENG
Kedar Jadhav will be my Man of the Match. Not often you see someone overshadowing the class of Kohli in a run chase. Well played.
