England pace bowler James Anderson and India captain Virat Kohli were at each other's throat during the second Test. On Wednesday, the first day of the third Test here, the 39-year-old England veteran got the better of the talismanic Indian batsman having him caught behind for seven to complete his assault on India's top-order.

Kohli's misery didn't end just there. Even as James Anderson and his England teammates celebrated the dismissal, which was the veteran pacer's 629th Test scalp, the Barmy Army - a group of English fans - gave him musical farewell.

As Kohli trudged back to the pavilion with his head down, the English fans kept singing, "cheerio, cheerio" (said as goodbye). This was the seventh time that Anderson has scalped Kohli in Test match cricket. The England pacer has joined Australia spinner Nathan Lyon as the bowler to dismiss Kohli the most number of times in the longest format.
