Virat Kohli’s stunning catch and direct hit in IND vs AUS warmup game

Virat Kohli’s stunning fielding efforts helped India beat Australia in the T20 World Cup 2022 warm-up match at The Gabba on Monday. Kohli produced a superb direct hit while diving and then took a spectacular one-handed catch at long-on in the death overs as India won by six runs.

Chasing a target of 187, Australia need just 16 from the last 12 balls when Harshal Patel cleaned up Aaron Finch on the first delivery of the 19th over. Kohli added to Australia’s misery on the next ball with a direct hit to dismiss dangerous Tim David.

Josh Inglis under-edged the delivery on the leg side and asked David for a quick single, but Kohli proved to be quicker as he quickly collected the ball and sent a direct hit while diving to run David out.

In the next over, Kohli produced a one-handed stunner at long-on to dismiss Pat Cummins to further spoil Australia’s party. With Australia needing 7 off 4, Cummins smashed Shami for a shot down the ground that looked destined for a six but Kohli timed his jump perfectly to pluck the ball out of the thin air.

Cummins’ dismissal was followed by three more wickets as Shami ran Ashton Agar out and cleaned up Inglis and Kane Richardson on the last two balls to win the match for India.
