Bengaluru: Virat Kohli may have been out for a first ball, but the former India skipper compensated with brilliant fielding during the third T20I against Afghanistan at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Wednesday. The incident took place in the 17th over when Karim Janat was batting. The right-hander hit Washington Sundar off the back foot as the ball went high and looked to clear long.
Excellent effort near the ropes!
How's that for a Virat Kohli save?

But Kohli had other ideas as he jumped high in the air and fluttered the ball back into the field of play, saving his team five crucial points. That wasn't all, as Kohli was in the thick of the action again two overs later. This time, Kohli ran well to his right from long-off to take a two-handed catch and dismiss Najibullah Zadran.
