With three changes, captain Virat Kohli won the toss and elected to bat first. India did not have a good start and Shubman Gill was dismissed for zero.

Captain Virat Kohli also failed to play the account in the first innings. England spinner Moeen Ali bowled him with a brilliant ball. With this, he also achieved a special achievement.

After a long time at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, Indian spectators got a chance to cheer their favorite players. Sadly, Captain Kohli could not even open an account here.

After playing just 5 balls, he returned out on zero. Kohli dodged Kohli in such a way that he did not know when he was bold. Ali became the world’s first spinner to dismiss Kohli at zero in international cricket.
