In the ongoing 2023 World Cup match between India and Australia, Virat Kohli stole the spotlight with a breathtaking diving catch that sent Australian opener Mitchell Marsh packing.
In the scorching conditions of Chennai on Sunday, October 8, during the ongoing 2023 Cricket World Cup clash between India and Australia, Virat Kohli showcased brilliance by taking a crucial catch right at the beginning of the match. Jasprit Bumrah’s perfectly pitched delivery paved the way for an outside edge from opener Mitchell Marsh, providing India with the early wicket they craved as Australia won the toss and elected to bat first at Chepauk.
During the game, Jasprit Bumrah was brought into the attack and bowled a delivery that bounced a bit extra just outside off-stump. Mitchell Marsh tried to cut it, but the ball took an edge and went straight into Virat Kohli’s waiting hands. Kohli dove to his left to complete the catch, sending Marsh back without scoring after facing six deliveries.
