Virat Kohli reacts to own diving catch in 3rd ODI on Twitter after 'cheetah' comparisons
Virat Kohli, who took a sensational catch in the third ODI against Australia to dismiss Marnus Labuschagne for 54, has reacted to his grab. Read to know more.
Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli starred as India clinched the 3-match ODI series against Australia with a comprehensive win in the final game by 7 wickets in Bengaluru on Sunday. Both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli were the architects of the win for the Men in Blue in the 287-run chase. This completes yet another series win for India in the 2019-2020 home season after being 0-1 down against a visiting side.
Earlier, Australia had posted a testing total of 286 for the Indian team. The visitors got off to a poor start as they lost David Warner early for just 3. A mix-up between skipper Aaron Finch and Steve Smith bought an end to the former's stay at the crease. Smith and Marnus Labuschagne started building the innings and soon stitched a 100-run partnership with the latter bringing up his maiden ODI fifty.
Both the batsmen were looking dangerous and that's when Indian captain Virat Kohli produced a moment of magic. Marnus Labuschagne went for an expensive drive off Ravindra Jadeja and connected it well. But a diving Kohli managed to grab a stunning catch at cover to dismiss Marnus Labuschagne for 54.
A fan posted a picture of Virat Kohli's catch and spotted a unique thing. When Virat Kohli dived, his shadow formed was like a running cheetah.
