Rashid's beauty uproots the off-stump, leaves Kohli's stunned

“If you wanna know India’s position in a match then look at Virat Kohli,” former England captain Nasser Hussain had said in 2011 describing Kohli’s plethora of emotions during a match. He was bang on in his assertion. Kohli, even after getting the Indian captaincy, never tries to hide his feelings, whether he is batting or fielding, he makes the opposition know about his intentions.

“If you wanna know India’s position in a match then look at Virat Kohli,” former England captain Nasser Hussain had said in 2011 describing Kohli’s plethora of emotions during a match. He was bang on in his assertion. Kohli, even after getting the Indian captaincy, never tries to hide his feelings, whether he is batting or fielding, he makes the opposition know about his intentions.

Precisely why it was not surprising at all to see Kohli stand his ground in total amusement after being done in by Adil Rashid in the 3rd ODI at Headingley.

Kohli was batting on 72 when an Adil Rashid delivery uprooted his stumps and left him flummoxed when the English players roared their mightiest. There was nothing magical about the delivery, apart from the fact that it turned more than usual. Kohli, on his part, made the error of exposing the stumps while attempting a push for a single down the ground. The ball pitched around middle and leg, evaded Kohli’s bat and hit the top of off stump, leaving Kohli with a big question mark on his face.

Kohli’s expression said it all, he was done it by the turn and he had no intentions of hiding it.

The wicket hurt India’s chances of pushing for a total in excess of 300 as the England bowlers then applied the brakes on the Indian innings.
