One of the best on-field moments of the third and the final One-Day International between England and India was when Adil Rashid castled Virat Kohli with a crackerjack delivery.
The delivery reminded the spectators of the Ball of the century which Shane Warne had bowled to Mike Gatting in 1993.
The Indian captain was inching closer to scoring a century and was batting on 71 before bowling him out.
The ball pitched on leg stump, ragged past the batsman’s outside-edge to cut short the right hander’s innings.
If it was the Adil Rashid’s accuracy which dismissed Kohli, Kohli’s expression after the dismissal was what caught the attention of the players.
Just like the others, Kohli was also taken aback by the delivery and was totally stunned by the delivery.
He looked at the pitch to understand the pitch. He then looked at his batting partner and headed back to the dressing room.
Rashid’s delivery leaves Kohli bemused:

Speaking at the post-match presentation, Kohli admitted that he was surprised to see the amount of turn Rashid got.
“I have been playing against Adil Rashid since my U-19 days and it was undoubtedly a terrific ball,” he said.
“It was just one of those balls that you have to take in your stride and say “Wow”. I’m surprised that the way he bowls has changed over the years, but that was an amazing ball, ” he added.
This is how Twitter reacted to Kohli’s reaction on his dismissal:

Kohli looks like he's seen a ghost after he's bowled by a big leg-break from Rashid.

The series-clinching moment has to be Adil Rashid's peach of a delivery to castle Kohli. Shifted the momentum to England. India could never recover from that. Kohli's expression said everything! Congrats, England… @imVkohli @AdilRashid03 @ECB_cricket #ENGvIND
