Virat Kohli’s superhit catch

Virat Kohli is one of the fittest players in the Indian cricket team. The same fitness of Virat was also visible in the third ODI against Australia, when Kohli took a brilliant catch on the third ball of the 22nd over. Washington was bowling beautifully and Australian batsman Matthew was on short strike. As soon as Short played the shot, the ball got stuck in the hands of Virat Kohli standing at square leg. With this wicket, Matthew Short was out after scoring 30 runs in 41 balls and Australia’s third wicket fell at the score of 124.

Shreyas Iyer also did wonders

After Virat Kohli, Indian team’s vice-captain Shreyas Iyer also took an amazing catch. When Harshit Rana came to bowl in the 33rd over, Shreyas Iyer took a brilliant catch of Alex Carey on the fourth ball of this over and got a big wicket for India. Australia lost its fourth wicket at the score of 183.

Will Virat’s form return in Sydney ODI?

Former cricketer Irfan Pathan talked about India’s star batsman Virat Kohli on his YouTube channel. Irfan Pathan said, ‘Two matches, two ducks, we have never seen this before. This does not usually happen. The reason for this could be pressure or being away from cricket for a long time or anything else. A lot is going on on social media regarding this. But we should be careful that it does not affect both the players. If the performance is not better, they will not play.

Irfan Pathan gave advice to Virat Kohli

Irfan Pathan further said, ‘How can Virat Kohli come out of this? He just needs to take a quick single so he can change the strike. When you have 2 ducks to your name, you only need one run. But for this they do not need to be disappointed. If Virat is disappointed then he will not be able to enjoy his batting. He needs to enjoy his batting. As soon as they spend time on the field, runs will start scoring automatically and they will not need to look back. He likes ODI cricket the most.
