ICC World Cup 2023: ‘Inswinging menace’ Virat Kohli’s victims over the years

The former skipper picked his fifth ODI wicket and ninth international scalp during India’s World Cup 2023 match against Netherlands

Kohli’s first ODI scalp was England captain Alistair Cook, who was clean bowled for 50 at Cardiff in 2011

In the same year, Kohli cleaned up Cook’s opening partner Craig Kieswetter at Mohali for his second ODI wicket

Kohli dismissed Quinton de Kock for 135 by having him caught off his own bowling at Johannesburg in 2013 for his third scalp

Kohli, India’s most economical bowler on the day, had Brendon McCullum caught at cover by Rohit Sharma at Wellinton in 2014

Kohli picked his first ODI wicket in nine years when he dismissed Netherlands skipper Scott Edwards

The ‘wrong-footed, in-swinging menace’ is the only bowler to pick a T20I wicket off the zeroth delivery of his career

He achieved the distinction when he had England’s Kevin Pietersen stumped off a wide delivery at Manchester in 2011

Kohli famously picked Johnson Charles’ wicket in the 2016 T20 World Cup semifinal at Wankhede, which was his last international scalp before Sunday
