A gripping and exciting T20 International match took place at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru during the 3rd T20 between India and Afghanistan on Wednesday, January 17th. Rohit Sharma and Ravi Bishnoi emerged as the key figures in India’s triumph. Rohit showcased his prowess with a remarkable century, while leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi displayed exceptional skills in the Super Over, playing a crucial role in India’s outstanding performance. A standout moment in the game occurred when Virat Kohli made a spectacular catch near the boundary line. This pivotal catch not only thwarted Afghanistan’s likely win but also led the match into a Super Over.
Spinner Washington Sundar bowled as batsman Karim Jannat attempted an airborne shot to clear Virat Kohli, who stood just in front of the Indian dugout during the 17th over of Afghanistan’s innings. The Indian cricket legend displayed remarkable skill, nearly completing a one-handed catch with a last-minute leap in the air. Recognizing that his momentum might carry him beyond the boundary, he adeptly threw the ball back into play. Virat Kohli’s outstanding fielding not only contributed to India’s victory but also earned him the Fielder of the Series Medal.
During the ODI World Cup, they introduced the practice of presenting a medal to the top fielder.
Excellent effort near the ropes!
