Mitchell Santner's one-handed wonder 

This had happened in fifth over of first innings after New Zealand stand-in-captain Tim Soue had put India to bat first. After early dismissal of Sanju Samson, both Virat and KL Rahul decided to rebuild Indian innings. Things were almost going perfectly for m till third ball of that over which was bowled by Hamish Bennet.

Bennet had bowled a length delivery outside off stump as Kohli attempted a flick shot with aim of hitting a maximum. However, ball stayed low and took leading edge of his bat as Mitchell Santner dives and took a one-handed wonder at covers to end his brilliant cameo. Indian captain walked back to dugout for a 9-ball 11 and it was also a huge blow for Men In Blue before powerplay overs.  

video of Santner's one-handed wonder was also posted on social media. Take a look.
