Usually its either Ravindra Jadeja or Manish Pandey who have stolen the limelight when it comes to fielding in the ongoing ODI series between India and Australia. However, fans sometimes tend to forget that India captain Virat Kohli is also perhaps one of the best fielders and one of the top catchers in world cricket today.
IND v AUS 2020: WATCH – Smith runs out Finch in a comical sequence during Bengaluru ODI
During the ongoing third ODI being played at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Kohli showed his prowess on the field, as he took a flying blinder to remove a dangerous looking Marnus Labuschagne, who had just completed his maiden half-century in his third outing.
It was the 32nd over of the match, bowled by Ravindra Jadeja, when the right-hander went inside out of a quickish delivery from Jadeja but Kohli was quick to react at the cover position and he pulled off a controlled dive to complete the catch.
Here is the video of Kohli’s catch:
Kohli held a finger to his mouth and then took his cap off and took a bow to acknowledge the crowd’s applause. The catch brought an end to a 127-run partnership between Labuschagne and Steve Smith. Earlier Shami had removed Warner for 9 and Finch was run out for 19, as Australia won the toss and chose to bat first. The tourists have made one change to the side which lost the second ODI on Friday with paceman Josh Hazlewood coming in for Kane Richardson.
