Virat Kohli Takes a one-handed stunner:
Virat Kohli was not yet finished. He made an outstanding one-handed catch to dismiss Pat Cummins in the following over, which helped India maintain their hold. After a lengthy break, Mohammed Shami was bowling his first competitive over of cricket when he pitched one full, which Cummins fairly well timed towards long-on. To his amusement, Kohli leapt high and made a stunning grab with his right hand.
