Chennai: While the good news from the Indian side in the second Test against England is Rohit Sharma’s century, the bad news is Virat Kohli’s duck. It was widely expected that Virat Kohli would recover from the devastation if India won the toss and elected to bat.
But before it could be established, English spinner Mueen Ali Kohli was stumped. Ali, who was on the field for a long time and could not regain his form, dismissed Kohli with an amazing delivery. Kohli, who tried to drive, was fooled and the ball bounced off the post. Unable to believe the incident, Kohli spent some time at the crease. Kohli also suspected that the wicket-keeper’s glove was stumpy. With Kohli out early, Rohit Sharma and Rahane helped India put pressure on India.
The record-breaking Indian captain also set a record in the match that he does not like to be remembered. Kohli is the second most capped Indian captain to score a negative record. Kohli finished second behind former skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni. This is Kohli’s 12th return without a run since taking over the captaincy. Dhoni has returned to zero 11 times. Former captain Sourav Ganguly topped the list with 13 outs.
