Former Indian skipper Virat Kohli's torrid run with the bat continued against England as well, after he was dismissed for just 11 runs on Friday, during the rescheduled fifth Test match at Edgbaston. 

Kohli, who hasn't scored an international century since 2019, was trolled by England's infamous fan group 'Barmy Army' who tweeted about the 33-year-old's long-awaited wait for his 71st ton. 

It was a bizarre dismissal for the Delhi-born batsman, who appeared to be caught in two minds, whether to play the ball or not, after which the delivery took an unlucky deflection from his bat, and struck the stumps.

While Indian fans were left heartbroken with the dismissal, England fans celebrated the wicket knowing just how crucial it was.

Barmy Army tried to poke fun at Kohli, as they tweeted the numbers '71' alongside the emoji of a timer, alongside a video of English fans celebrating the dismissal, and chanting as the former Indian skipper made his way to the dugout.

Talking about the match, England skipper Ben Stokes had won the toss and he chose to bowl after which James Anderson got rid of the Indian openers early, but rain interrupted play briefly as early lunch was taken. 

In the second session, the Three Lions were again off to a good start but as soon as Ravindra Jadeja and Rishabh Pant took control they totally decimated English bowlers at will. The duo stitched together a 222-run stand for the sixth wicket, helping India on from a tough spot when they were reduced to 98/5.

Pant was dismissed after scoring 146 runs in 111 balls, while Jadeja remained unbeaten at stumps with a score of 83.
