In the second ODI at Lord's, Virat Kohli began his innings in stylish fashion, hitting three beautiful drives off England's best bowler on the day, Reece Topley.
However, he flattered to deceive as David Willey had him nicking behind for 16 as England went on to eventually thrash the visitors by 100 runs to level the series 1-1.
The match saw Kohli's lean streak continue and former India batter Aakash Chopra rued the fact that it looked like Kohli was set for a big knock, but fell flat in the end. "A beautiful straight drive, an impeccable cover-drive...and a copybook on-drive.
The three Kohli drives were vintage. Lured us into believing that the master is back in form. But not to be. The outside edge...fishing...again.
