IND vs ZIM, T20 World Cup: Virat Kohli pulls off blinder as Zimbabwe lose wicket off first ball; watch

Virat Kohli took a blinder catch on the first ball of the Zimbabwe innings and helped Bhuvneshwar Kumar bag the first wicket for India.

Bhuvneshwar bowled a good length delivery, quite short of a driving length, and swinging away from Wesley Madhevere, but he still went for a drive through the covers.

Kohli was stationed at short covers and dived to his right to take a fine diving catch. He was delighted with the catch and had a cheeky look on his face after taking the catch.

With that catch, Kohli completed 50 catches in T20 Internationals.

Zimbabwe were reduced to 0/1 on the first ball itself in a mammoth run chase of 187. If Zimbabwe fail to win the match, they will not have automatic qualification in the next T20 World Cup.

Earlier India posted 186 in the first innings on the back of KL Rahul’s 51 and Suryakumar Yadav’s blistering 61 of 25 deliveries.

Kohli was off to a good start but was holed in the deep, trying to take over Sean Williams in the 12^th over.

India had already qualified for the semi-finals earlier in the day once South Africa lost to the Netherlands.
