#5 Graeme Swann (England)

English off-spinner, Graeme Swann had troubled the Indian batsman a lot with his spin, especially in the 2012-13 season. In fact, he had claimed the wicket of Virat in the first Test match that the Indian player played versus England. Swann got Kohli out thrice in that 4-match series.
When India had visited England for a full-fledged tour in 2011, the off-spinner had dismissed Virat three times in the 5-match series.
In the final ODI, Swann had got him out hit wicket when he was well set on 107. Also, when England toured India later that year, Kohli lost his wicket to the off-spinner in the ODI played at Mohali.
Just like Cummins, Swann had claimed Kohli’s wicket during the 2012 ICC World T20. Coincidentally, the venue was the same as when the Australian had achieved the feat, namely the R. Premadasa Stadium.
