Virat Kohli took an easy catch as Harshit Rana dismissed swashbuckling opener Travis Head in the second ODI between India and Australia in Adelaide on Thursday, October 23. The 36-year-old had enough time to hold on to the catch as Head mistimed a delivery, perishing for 28 runs off 40 balls. With the wicket, Kohli and Harshit reduced the Aussies to 54/2.
The dismissal came in the 13th over of Australia’s run chase. Harshit Rana bowled a length ball on the pads, and Head closed the face of the bat at the last minute, getting a massive leading edge. The ball went up high in the sky, and Kohli settled well underneath it at mid-off. He took his time to hold on, taking the catch close to his chest.
