He notched up his 25th Test half-century on Day 3’s afternoon session, during a defiant 7th wicket stand for India. Earlier in the match, the cricketer was dismissed for a duck by England all-rounder Moeen Ali.

India vs England 2nd Test: Moeen Ali becomes first spinner to get Kohli for a duck

On Day 1 during India’s first innings, Virat Kohli arrived to the crease at 85-2. His stay lasted just five deliveries as he was castled by England all-rounder Moeen Ali for a duck. By dismissing Kohli, Moeen Ali became the first spinner in the world to get the maverick batsman before letting him open his account.

Remarkably, both Virat Kohli and Moeen Ali were teammates for the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) franchise between the 2018 and 2020 editions of the Indian Premier League (IPL). After spending three years with the Bangalore camp, the England cricketer was released by the franchise on January 20 last month for the upcoming IPL 2021 season, which could perhaps add fuel to their rivalry as the India-England tour goes on.
