10 most bizarre dismissals of all time

#9 Alastair Cook - Kolkata, 2012

Skipper Alastair Cook was in the form of his life when England toured India in 2012. Everything he touched turned into gold. Having helped England humiliate India in the last tTest match at the Wankhede, another ‘upset’ was in the offing at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata.

England were in complete command of the game at 359/2 with Cook batting on a fluent 190* and new batsmen Kevin Pietersen at the other end.

KP flicked a delivery from Zaheer Khan, straight to square leg where Virat Kohli had a shy at the non-strikers’ end. Cook turned around but didn’t bother to ground his bat. The crowd went wild as Kohli’s throw hit the stumps and Cook missed out on a well deserved double ton.
