New Delhi: Team India skipper Virat Kohli failed to contribute with the bat on Friday but his stunning fielding effort in the outfield to dismiss Shimron Hetmyer during the second T20I at Thiruvananthapuram's Greenfield International Stadium, got the crowd on their feet.

Skipper Virat took an absolute screamer  to get rid of dangerous looking Hetmyer off Ravindra Jadeja's delivery. Kohli ran to his right from long-on and stretched as much as he could to grab a diving + sliding catch with his both hands. The skipper lost balance and fell on the ground while completing the catch but somehow managed to keep him from touching the boundary rope.


"It was just one of those catches that stuck in the hand. It came out of one of the lights. I just committed to the ball and put both hands out and luckily it came in my hand.

"Last game I dropped a one-hander in the last game. Its about putting in the effort, sometimes they stick and sometimes they don't," Kohli said at the post-match presentation.


A superb half-century from Lendl Simmons (67* off 45) and a fiery knock from Nicholas Pooran in a must-win game powered West Indies to 8-wickets win against team India and level the series 1-1 in the second T20I on Sunday. A thriller of a decider awaits both the teams with the final T20I to be played at Wankhede stadium in Mumbai.
