The England and India five-match Test series began on August 4 onwards with the 1st Test being played in Nottingham. This series has been a highly anticipated one especially the battle between England pace ace James Anderson and India captain Virat Kohli.
Anderson had said that he was looking forward to bowling to Virat, while Kohli also mentioned that he always like playing against Anderson. If in 2014, Anderson dominated Kohli, getting his wicket four times in the series, in 2018, the India captain kept the England pacer at bay, pummeling 593 runs across five Tests.
Therefore, when Virat Kohli walked out to bat at the fall of Cheteshwar Pujara’s wicket, who was caught behind by Jos Buttler off Anderson, the Trent Bridge crowd erupted in welcoming one of the best batsmen in the middle.

Anderson was ready to begin a fresh battle with Kohli and got the better of him, getting him caught behind the very first ball, handing him a golden duck, and sending the British crowd in Nottingham into a frenzy.
Anderson enticed Kohli with a full delivery outside off stump and the India captain instead of leaving it, tried to prod at it and knicked it to Jos Buttler, leaving India 104/3.
Here is the video of Kohli’s golden duck:
India was 125/4 at tea with KL Rahul unbeaten on 57 and Rishabh Pant on 7*.
