Watch: was dismissed cheaply by Naseem Shah during the Group A T20 World Cup fixture between India and Pakistan at the Nassau County Stadium in East Meadow, New York on Sunday (June 9).
Only an over could be bowled after a delayed start as the sky opened up again with India at 8-0. After the rain break, Kohli, who was yet to face a ball, started emphatically by creaming through the covers.
A ball later, however, Naseem had his revenge. Kohli played a cut against a short, away-swinging delivery, handing it straight to Usman Khan at cover point. The widish line of the ball, in addition to the two-paced New York pitch, resulted in Kohli mistiming his shot.
For the first time, Kohli, the highest run-scorer in the tournament’s history, fell for two consecutive single-digit scores: against Ireland, he fell for a run and today (June 9), he was dismissed for four.
, who was looking good at the other end, perished in the third over, holing out to at deep square leg while playing a pickup shot that yielded a six previously against the same bowler. India lost both their openers for 19 runs in 2.4 overs.
