Watch: Virat Kohli's Stunned Reaction On Jasprit Bumrah's Missed Catch vs New Zealand Goes Viral
Virat Kohli's expression following a missed catch by Jasprit Bumrah went viral during the Cricket World Cup 2023 match between India and New Zealand.
Jasprit Bumrah spilled an easy catch as Indian cricket team's fielding concerns continued against New Zealand in their Cricket World Cup 2023 encounter on Sunday. A wide full delivery from Kuldeep was a clear invitation for Mitchell to try an inside out shot and he obliged with a heave towards long-off. Bumrah was positioned perfectly for the catch and the ball came directly at the fast bowler. However, he could not get it under control and he spilled it for a boundary. Virat Kohli was left stunned by another dropped opportunity after an early mistake by Ravindra Jadeja and his expression went viral on social media.
