Root was looking set to get a big one but a brilliant piece of fielding from Kohli saw the right-hander getting run-out for 80.
Root tried to steal a second run off Ravichandran Ashwin but Kohli ran quickly, picked up the ball and threw it in one swift motion to knock down the stumps with a direct hit.
Kohli celebrated the dismissal with a 'mic-drop' send-off, something Root had done after guiding England to a 2-1
ODI series win against India last month.
