Virat Kohli, former India and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) captain, is without a doubt one of best fielders in modern cricket. On Tuesday, he proved it during a match between RCB and Rajasthan Royals (RR). In 18th over, Kohli took a sensational catch to dismiss Trent Boult of Rajasthan. 33-year-old dived to his left to collect a low catch off Harshal Patel's bowling to remove Boult.
This is not first time in ongoing IPL 2022 that Kohli has taken an impressive catch. Earlier in competition during a match between RCB and Delhi Capitals, Kohli stunned everyone when he pulled off a brilliant one-handed catch to dismiss Rishabh Pant. Kohli jumped nearly two feet from ground to pluck ball mid-air. After taking spectacular catch, Kohli was seen waving at his wife Anushka Sharma, who was sitting in stands. Here's how netizens reacted to Kohli's catch against RR.
