The Indian cricket fans got an extra reason to celebrate as Virat Kohli dismissed Netherlands captain Scott Edwards in his second over at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium during the ongoing ODI World Cup 2023 match on November 12th.
In a dramatic turn of events during the 25th over, Kohli, delivering a subpar ball well past the leg stump, managed to secure a wicket.
