Team India is currently locking horns with England in the series decider of the three-match series with the series level at 1-1. India made 3 changes in the squad with KL Rahul, Umesh Yadav and Siddharth Kaul replaced by Dinesh Karthik, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, and Shardul Thakur respectively, while England faced a forced change of James Vince replacing injured Jason Roy. The toss was won by the English skipper Eoin Morgan and he decided to bowl first and his decision became quite accurate up to some extent as the men in blue were restricted to 158/5 after 31 overs.

However, the match was quite in India’s favor until the 30th over with Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni handling the English spinners quite comfortably as they surpassed 150-run mark in 30 overs itself, but in the 31st over, the English leggie Adil Rashid bamboozled Kohli and Suresh Raina in the same over.

Rashid bowled a ripper on the first ball of the over as Virat was stunned when the ball went past his bat on to the off stumps only to ask him to go out. It was a beautiful leg break that has ragged from leg stump to smack off, beating Kohli’s outside edge, who was on the back foot. He stared at the pitch, looks back at the bowler, then heads for the dressing room. However, after the Indian skipper walked off, the umpires are checked that if Jos Buttler disturbed the stump before the ball hit it, but that wasn’t the case.

On the last ball of the over, Adil tossed the ball up which straightened and Raina turns it off his pads only to get caught at the leg slip. Umpire was quick to raise his finger as the ball went off the face of the bat as Raina went with the turn, well taken low to his right by Joe Root.

Here is the video of the dismissal:
