Virat Kohli viral catch: Team India bounced back with a win on Monday after their previous defeat against Western Australia as the Men in Blue attained a remarkable 6-run win over Australia in a warm-up match at Gabba's Brisbane. Asked to bat first, India were off to a dream start with opener KL Rahul (57) leading the attack against Aussie bowlers. Apart from Rahul, Suryakumar too contributed with a fiery fifty as India scored a total of 186 on board.
In reply, Australia too had a good start with skipper Aaron Finch leading the charge. At the end, just when it felt Australia might win, clinical fielding from Virat Kohli saved the day. First, Virat sent dangerous Tim David back to the dressing room with a brilliant throw to get him run-out.
What happened next broke the internet as Virat jumped high in the air to take a one-handed stunner at long-on in the final over to get rid of Pat Cummins. Soon after Virat took the catch, he started trending on social media.
Meanwhile, Virat's wife Anushka Sharma too reacted to the viral video of Virat's one-handed catch by re-posting the clip on her Instagram story, calling the catch a 'beauty'.
Kohli was expected to fire at Brisbane against the main Australian squad, but this did not happen. He got out after a 13-ball 19 run knock. After the match got over, Kohli practiced at the nets in Gabba for around 40 minutes alongside Pakistan skipper Babar Azam.
