Virat Kohli, who missed the series-opener in Nagpur due to a sore knee, was dismissed caught-behind for an 8-ball 5 by Adil Rashid.
India batter Virat Kohli gave a stunned reaction after his dismissal in the 2nd ODI against England in Cuttack on Sunday. Kohli, who missed the series-opener in Nagpur due to a sore knee, was dismissed caught behind for an 8-ball 5 by Adil Rashid, following a successful DRS taken by England captain Jos Buttler. Kohli leaned forward to defend as Rashid bowled a flighted delivery, but was beaten on the edge due to a sharp turn. Despite a strong appeal from England for a caught behind, the umpire shook his head in disagreement.

England took the DRS and the replays showed that there was a spike on UltraEdge. However, Kohli was not convinced by the review as he gave an animated reaction after seeing the decision on the big screen.
Kohli's reaction suggested that he didn't feel the ball had touched his bat. Could that be down to a possible technological malfunction? His reaction certainly suggested so. However, the actual case maybe that it was a faint edge which Virat didn't realise.
