(Watch) Virat Kohli takes a stunner catch at slips to dismiss Miitchell Marsh in the India Vs Australia World Cup match.
Virat Kohli became the talk of social media platforms following a spectacular catch during the India vs. Australia match in the 2023 Cricket World Cup held at Chepauk on Sunday, October 8. The match got off to an electrifying start as India aimed to secure an early wicket, and their hopes were realized when Jasprit Bumrah bowled a delivery that induced an outside edge off opener Mitchell Marsh’s bat. Australia had won the toss and elected to bat first, braving the scorching conditions in Chennai.
Bumrah executed his role to perfection, coaxing a misjudged shot from Marsh and resulting in the crucial outside edge. Virat Kohli, stationed at first slip (a position currently held by Shubman Gill), showcased his exceptional fielding skills by diving to his non-dominant side and completing the catch with finesse. The entire Chepauk stadium erupted in celebration as India claimed their first wicket of the World Cup.
