[Watch] Frustrated Virat Kohli Departs For 9-Ball Duck

Virat Kohli dismissed for duck [X.Com]

Seems like England have come out on a mission to spoil India's party at the Ekana Stadium. Having won the toss and putting India into bat, England have started on the front-foot with wickets of Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli.

Virat Kohli's wicket was part of a great plan executed to perfection by David Willey. They squeezed the gaps between the fielders and that frustrated Virat Kohli as he went for a rash shot and threw his wicket away.

It was in the 7th over of the game when Willey got the wicket of his RCB teammate. He continued to bowl at the right lines and lengths and Kohli could hardly find any room. The Indian batter did play a couple of gorgeous drives, but they went straight to the fielder at covers. Frustration boiled up as on the 5th delivery, Kohli stepped down the track for a big heave and miscued it.

It was an uncharacteristic shot from Kohli, who got a top-edge and found the fielder at mid-off.

Talking about the match so far, Rohit Sharma started the innings with a couple of maximums, but England found the breakthrough when Chris Woakes knocked over Shubman Gill's stumps.

Shreyas Iyer has joined skipper Rohit at the crease, as the duo prepare to steady the ship.
