All formats combined, Virat Kohli has not hit a century in his last 50 innings, a big problem for the team with a batsman of his calibre. Clearly, Kohli is unable to handle the eclipsed phase that has dawned upon him for so long now.
HUGE moment for England! 🇽🇪

IND vs ENG: In a delivery outside off, Kohli went straight with the angle anticipating some turn. However, the ball instead pushed forward and found the edge and to hand a simple catch for Overton at slip. He smashed 44 runs from 96 deliveries that included seven fours.
