In the IND vs ENG 2011 T20 game, Kevin Pietersen reacts to his dismissal by Virat Kohli.
Former England cricketer Kevin Pietersen reacted on Saturday to his dismissal by Virat Kohli in a T20 international match against India in a one-off T20I game during India's tour of England in Manchester in 2011.
In a video doing the rounds on X, Pietersen was seen stumped out by then-captain MS Dhoni off a wide delivery by Kohli. The English batting legend labeled it an unplayable delivery and credited the medium pacer for his clever bowling. The medium pacer took his maiden T20I wicket in his first outing with the ball.
Sharing the original post, RCVJ Media captioned it: “King Kohli magic in bowling." On the post, Kevin Pietersen replied, “He was a better bowler than a batter then. Unplayable delivery!”

Kohli has taken four wickets in T20Is, which includes the scalps of Samit Patel, Mohammed Hafiz, and Johnson Charles. The 34-year-old last bowled in the India vs. Bangladesh 2023 World Cup clash to finish Hardik Pandya’s over and the remaining three balls due to the latter’s ankle injury. In T20Is, he last bowled in India’s game against Hong Kong in Dubai during the 2022 Asia Cup.
