Scorecard
Kohli (38 off 20 balls) played a gem of an innings and blasted his way through the English bowlers to stabalise the Indian innings after losing Ajinkya Rahane early.
Meaker was able to catch Kohli plumb in front of the wicket after the Delhi batsman completely misjudged a slower delivery.
Yuvraj (4) on the other hand never looked settled when he pulled an outside off ball straight down the ground to give Root a simple catch to dismiss the southpaw.
Kohli along with Gautam Gambhir reached the 50-run partnership in just 25 balls by smashing the pacers to all parts of the boundary.
Early, India suffered an early dent when debutant Joe Root gave the visitors their first wicket when he scalped Rahane right after England skipper Eoin Morgan won the toss and decided to bowl.
Rahane (3), in his attempt to swing, found the outside edge of a good length Root delivery and was caught comfortably by Jade Dernbach at third man.
India head into this match with just one change as Ravindra Jadeja makes way for Rohit Sharma. On the other hand, Root comes into the England squad.
Having gained the winning momentum again, the hosts would be eager not to let it go out of grasp especially with the high-profile series against Pakistan to follow immediately after the conclusion of the T20 stint.
Teams:
India: MS Dhoni (Capt.), Gautam Gambhir, Ajinkya Rahane, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Suresh Raina, Yuvraj Singh, Ravichandran Ashwin, Piyush Chawla, Ashok Dinda, and Parvinder Awana.
England: Eoin Morgan (Capt.), Tim Bresnan, Jos Butler, Jade Dernbach, Alex Hales, Michael Lumb, Stuart Meaker, Samit Patel, Joe Root, James Tredwell and Luke Wright.
