Watch: Virat Kohli Waves To Wife Anushka Sharma After Stunning One-Handed Catch To Dismiss Rishabh Pant
IPL 2022, DC vs RCB: Virat Kohli completed a one-handed stunner at extra cover to dismiss Rishabh Pant at the Wankhede Stadium on Saturday.
Although he might be going through a bad patch of batting form, Virat Kohli showed fans that he can still contribute to Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in other ways in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season on Saturday. Kohli was dismissed after only registering 12 runs off 14 balls against Delhi Capitals (DC) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, but pulled off a fantastic one-handed catch to send opposition captain Rishabh Pant back to the pavilion. On the 17th over of the chase, Pant received a wide full toss from Mohammed Siraj and tried to send it over extra cover. But the DC captain toe-ended his shot towards Kohli at extra cover, who instinctively hopped and completed a one-handed stunner. After completing the catch, Kohli's celebration included waving to wife Anushka Sharma in the stands.
