How we verified this
VerifiedThe result, both team totals, the revised DLS target of 143 in 32 overs, Kohli’s 74, Gill’s 37 and the 113-run stand, Arshdeep Singh’s 4/70 and Anshul Kamboj’s 2/22 are consistent across Outlook India and CricketNews (and VAVEL for the totals). The toss, Kohli’s balls faced and boundaries, the Player of the Match award and the next match’s timing come from CricketNews alone and are attributed. The outlets differ on Gurnoor Brar’s figures, so the story does not give them.
