Moises Henriques, on Sunday, took a stunning diving catch to send back Virat Kohli in the ongoing second ODI between India and Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG).

The India skipper was batting on 89 and looking set to score his 44th ODI ton when Moises Henriques took the catch to bring an end to his fine fighting knock. The dismissal has once again put the hosts on top in the ongoing clash which is a do-or-die one for the visitors.

On the penultimate delivery of the 35th over bowled by Josh Hazlewood, Virat Kohli shuffled across the stumps and pulled a length ball hard towards mid-wicket where Moises Henriques was standing. The ball was quite far from him but the Australia allrounder made a full length dive towards his left side to take the catch.

Here is a clip of the catch from Moises Henriques:

Virat Kohli’s 89-run knock came off 86 balls and was studded with seven fours and a couple of sixes. Talking about the game, India were on 246 for 4 in the 39th over while chasing 390 at the time of writing this report.

Earlier in the game, Steve Smith scored a 62-ball ton for the second game in a row to power the hosts to a huge total of 389 for 4 in the allotted 50 overs. Apart from Smith, David Warner (83), Aaron (60), Marnus Labuschagne (70) and Glenn Maxwell (63) also impressed with the bat.
