New Delhi: Virat Kohli’s dry run in international cricket continued as England pacer James Anderson dismissed him for the seventh time on the first day of the third Test in Leeds. Anderson joined Australia spinner Nathan Lyon in dismissing Virat Kohli for the maximum number of times in Test cricket.
This is Kohli’s 50th innings since Kohli made an international century. Facing Anderson on the final delivery of the 11th over, Virat went for a cover drive but managed to get a thick outside edge.

Anderson has dismissed Sachin Tendulkar 9 times and Virat Kohli 7 times in Test cricket – that is two generations of Indian cricket and that is the legacy of James Anderson.

As exceptional as the bowling has been from Jimmy Anderson, wonder if England also got the better of Virat Kohli by consciously avoiding any verbals with the Indian captain. Surely he walked out expecting a lot of it #EngvIND

Now Anderson gets Kohli. What a morning, especially after what happened in the last Test. #ENGvIND
