Chennai: Virat Kohli was left stunned after a delivery from Moeen Ali breached his defence and bowled him out on Day 1 of the second Test between India and England.
The England all-rounder, replacing off-spinner Dom Bess in the Playing XI, fashioned a classic off-spinner’s dismissal that saw Kohli being dismissed for 0 in the morning session, the second duck of India’s innings.
Kohli came into bat at 85 for 2 in the first session of the day and Moeen, playing his first Test of the tour, did the Indian captain in with a brilliantly bowled off spinner that drifted, turned and went through the gap between Kohli’s bat and pads.
Kohli was stunned in the immediate aftermath of the dismissal.
The on-field umpires referred the decision to the third umpire to check if the ball had indeed hit the stumps.
India reached 106 for three at lunch with Sharma on 80 and Ajinkya Rahane on five after India, who trail the four-Test series 1-0, elected to bat in Chennai.
