England's Barmy Army never lets an opportunity to boast about the achievement of their cricketers and it was no different when Moeen Ali continued his great record against Virat Kohli. The two were up against each other in IPL 2022 as Chennai Super Kings took on Royal Challengers Bangalore at the MCA Stadium in Pune.
While Kohli had got off to a decent start having played a couple of exquisite strokes as soon as the spinners came into play, the complexion of the Bangalore innings changed after they were asked to bat first by Chennai captain MS Dhoni. Later Ali was introduced into the attack and he removed Kohli in a dream off-spinner's wicket.
Ali pitched the ball up outside the off-stump, inviting Kohli for the drive but managed to get enough turn to get the ball past his bat and rattle into the wickets. Soon after Kohli departed, The Barmy Army posted an insulting image aimed at Kohli suggesting Ali keeps Kohli in his back pocket.

Earlier, while wishing Sachin Tendulkar on his 49th birthday, the Barmy Army had deliberately complied a picture of the Master Blaster's dismissals against the Three Lions. However, on that occasion, veteran India leg-spinner Amit Mishra had responded to it by sharing a collage of Tendulkar's incredible innings against the English team over the years.
"Thanks kids," Mishra had responded to Army's that particular tweet.,
