Pune, Jan 15 (TOI) : Chases can be tricky. And when you're chasing a big total under lights, the equation tends to become all the more sceptical. In their first match of 2017, a rejigged England side playing a different format, in order to erase the painful memories of the Test defeat, did whatever one could have asked of them. They put up their highest score in the country - a daunting 350/7 - and yet it wasn't enough to stop India, who on the back of match-winning centuries from skipper Virat Kohli and Kedar Jadhav, pulled off a miraculous chase to take a 1-0 lead in the series.

Kohli 122, Jhadav 120 and Pandya 40 not out

Miraculous; because India crawled their way back from 63/4 to eventually win the match by three wickets. The match almost brings back fond memories of the NatWest Trophy 2002 final - also against England - where India had chased down 325 from being 146/5. Kohli and Jadhav were the anchors of a game-changing 200-run partnership between them; Jadhav being the aggressor accounting for 102. Only twice before had India chased a target of or over 350 and what better occasion to kickstart 2017 adding another to the list?
