Steve Smith pulled off a stunning catch in the slips to dismiss Virat Kohli on Day 5 of the World Test Championship (WTC) Final between India and Australia at The Oval on Sunday. Kohli was looking in tremendous form but he fell just one run short of a well-deserved fifty as he was dismissed by Scott Boland. It was a brilliant set up by the fast bowler who kept bowling a disciplined line outside the off-stump against Kohli and the India batter ended up edging a similar delivery to the slips. The ball flew quickly to Smith who was ready for the chance and pulled off an impressive diving catch.
