Wed Feb 12 16:24:19 UTC 2025: **Rashid Achieves 11th Dismissal of Kohli in International Cricket**
Ahmedabad, India – England spinner Adil Rashid added another feather to his cap during the third ODI against India, dismissing star batsman Virat Kohli for the 11th time in their international careers. This achievement places Rashid alongside New Zealand’s Tim Southee and Australia’s Josh Hazlewood, who have also dismissed Kohli 11 times each in international cricket.
While Kohli remains a formidable batsman, Rashid’s consistent success against him highlights the spinner’s skill and the subtle challenges he presents. Rashid’s dismissals are spread across all formats: five in ODIs, four in Tests, and two in T20Is. Despite his dismissal, Kohli contributed a valuable 52 runs in the match.
Although the feat is shared by three bowlers, Southee and Hazlewood achieved their 11 dismissals in fewer matches than Rashid, which is notable. Other bowlers who have had significant success against Kohli include Moeen Ali and James Anderson, each with 10 dismissals. This impressive list underscores Kohli’s impact on the game, attracting the attention—and the dismissals—of some of the world’s top bowlers.
