Things are getting bad to worse for former Indian skipper Virat Kohli whose slump with the bat continued to Saturday in the second T20I versus England in Edgbaston. Kohli was dismissed by debutant Richard Gleeson who got rid of captain Rohit Sharma and Kohli inside 3 balls.
While Rohit did India off to a spectacular start by contributing 31 runs off 20 balls, once he was sent back to the dressing room, and Kohli walked out to join Rishabh Pant in the middle, his stay on the crease was very short-lived.
The 33-year-old could only score 1 run after which he tried to pull a short-length delivery from Gleeson but got his timing all wrong as the ball went high up in the air.

David Malan ran backwards and completed a diving catch to cut-short Kohli's inning, and the Delhi-born batsman came in for some heavy criticism from Indian fans.
While some said Kohli should be dropped, others wondered whether the former Indian skipper was 'finished'.
Here's what netizens said:
Meanwhile having won the toss, Buttler chose to bowl first after which India suffered a collapse of sorts as they went from 49/1 to 89/5 in a short span.
Ravindra Jadeja added an unbeaten 46-run knock in 29 balls which helped the Men in Blue to a target of 170/8, England's Gleeson picked up three wickets, while Chris Jordan completed four scalps.
