Former Team India captain Virat Kohli has been going through a rough patch for nearly 3 years now. And, it once again continued in the ongoing series against England too. During the second T20I between India and England, England batter Dawid Malan took a stunner that sent Kohli back.
However, Virat Kohli came to bat after Rohit Sharma’s dismissal who scored 31 from 20 balls. Kohli took a single on the second ball of the innings and it looked like he was trying to get his eye in. But, on the first ball of the sixth over, he got a length ball around his off stump and tried to hit the ball over wide-long on but could manage to get the outside edge as the ball went high towards the third man region. Dawid Malan who was fielding at the point started running backwards and dived to take a spectacular catch to end Virat Kohli’s stay in the middle.

However, India have won against England in the first game by 50 runs where they didn’t get the service of Jasprit Bumrah, Virat Kohli, Ravindra Jadeja and Rishabh Pant as well. However, they brought four changes to the game as well.
That's outrageous, @dmalan29! 👏
Kohli departs…

Rohit Sharma said at the toss: “We would have batted first. Looks like a good pitch, it has been used before for the Blast game. We just need to adjust quickly and adapt our game. We have four changes. Kohli, Jadeja, Bumrah are back, and we have one more change. These guys are one of the best teams in the world, so we want to challenge ourselves. We want to back our game in Southampton. We want to be fearless, but we need to play according to the situation. We know there will be some failures along the way.”
