Wed Feb 12 18:30:00 UTC 2025: ## Rashid Claims Kohli Again, Equalling Record Dismissal Tally

**Ahmedabad, India** – England leg-spinner Adil Rashid continued his dominance over Indian batting star Virat Kohli, dismissing him for the 11th time across all formats in the third ODI against England on Wednesday. This achievement puts Rashid in a three-way tie for the most dismissals of Kohli, alongside New Zealand’s Tim Southee and Australia’s Josh Hazlewood.

Rashid trapped Kohli lbw with a cleverly flighted delivery in the 19th over, adding to his four Test, five ODI, and two T20I dismissals of the Indian captain. Kohli, returning from a minor knee injury, had scored a half-century (52 runs) before his dismissal, offering a glimmer of hope ahead of India’s upcoming Champions Trophy campaign in 2025.

However, Kohli’s continued struggles against spin remain a concern. This dismissal marks another instance in a string of ODI dismissals by spinners bowling away from the right-hander since the T20 World Cup. While the fifty is a positive sign, the persistent vulnerability to spin bowling poses a challenge for India as they prepare for the crucial Champions Trophy. The team will be relying on Kohli to regain his top form and deliver the big scores needed for a successful tournament.
