Kohli’s fielding masterclass

Notably, Kohli didn’t have a good time with the bat as he was dismissed for a first-ball duck. However, he compensated that with his brilliance on the field as apart from pulling off a certain six he also secured a brilliant catch when Najibullah Zadran lofted a delivery from Avesh Khan.

His agile fielding efforts contributed significantly to India’s remarkable performance. Further, Kohli’s exploits extended beyond catches, as he executed a sharp throw from long on to run out the dangerous Gulbadin off the very first ball of the first Super Over.
