RR vs RCB: Virat Kohli takes one-handed screamer mid-air to dismiss Trent Boult; Watch

Virat Kohli, former India and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) captain, is without a doubt one of the best fielders in modern cricket. On Tuesday, he proved it during a match between the RCB and the Rajasthan Royals (RR). In the 18th over, Kohli took a sensational catch to dismiss Trent Boult of Rajasthan. The 33-year-old dived to his left to collect a low catch off Harshal Patel's bowling to remove Boult.

This is not the first time in the ongoing IPL 2022 that Kohli has taken an impressive catch. Earlier in the 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 the ground to pluck the ball mid-air. After taking the spectacular catch, Kohli was seen waving at his wife Anushka Sharma, who was sitting in the stands. Here's how netizens reacted to Kohli's catch against RR.

The Royals won by 29 runs, thanks to a magnificent half-century from Riyan Parag and some outstanding bowling from Kuldeep Sen and his teammates. Sen picked up a four-wicket haul to bowl RCB out for 115 runs, while Parag smashed an unbeaten 57 off 31 balls to help his team achieve a respectable total.
