Virat Kohli stunned after getting clean bowled on 0, Moeen Ali celebrates: WATCH

After losing Shubman Gill and Cheteshwar Pujara, Indian skipper Virat Kohli was stopped by off-spinner Moeen Ali in the second India vs England Test. Kohli missed the ball completely as it turned sharply towards him and crashed into off and middle stump to take the skipper out for a duck. Ajinkya Rahane has replaced Kohli in the pitch and looks to create a good partnership with opener Rohit Sharma, who is just runs away from a century.

Apart from Sharma and Rahane, fans now have huge expectations from wicket-keeper Rishabh Pant. Indian captain Virat Kohli had won the toss earlier and opted to bat first at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai. The hosts are currently trailing 1-0 in the series and by the looks of it, things can take a terrible turn for the worse. At present, India are 106/3 after 26 overs.
