Virat Kohli, the standout player for India, is a live wire on the field whether he is batting or fielding. During the team’s third and final T20 International match against Afghanistan on Wednesday in Bengaluru, Kohli’s job as a fielder was vital. Kohli made several excellent fielding displays, but one that truly stood out was his ability to stop a six at long on. Karim Janat struck Washington Sundar’s delivery hard down the ground during Afghanistan’s 213-run chase. It appeared for a brief moment that the ball would pass over Kohli’s head, but the star player leaped close to the fence’s edge, picked it up, and tossed it inside before toppling over the ropes. After the valiant effort, Kohli helped his side save five runs.
It was heartwarming to watch Rohit Sharma, Washington Sundar, and other teammates react as India’s fielding coach T Dilip gave Kohli the “Fielder of the Series” trophy in the locker room following the game.
Watch here:
Two Super Overs were played in Bengaluru to determine the victor of the third and final T20 International between Afghanistan and India. The men in blue were extraordinary on the field sealing the series with a 3-0 lead.
