KOHLI WINS T20I SERIES IN ‘SENA’ NATIONS

SYDNEY: Virat Kohli has become the first Indian skipper to win a T20I series in SENA countries—South Africa, England, New Zealand, and Australia—after all-rounder Hardik Pandya helped the Men in Blue chase down a target of 195 runs on Sunday. Former skipper M.S. Dhoni had led India to wins in Australia and South Africa but wasn’t able to register a series victory in New Zealand and England. The Indian skipper also became the only international captain to clinch a series (more than one match) across all formats in Australia. Former South African skipper Faf du Plessis is the only other captain to achieve the feat across formats on Australian soil but his series win in the shortest format of the game came in a one-off affair in 2018.
