XtraTime Web Desk: Indian skipper Virat Kohli lifted Delhi crowd off their feet after taking two sharp catches during the last match against Australia. Kohli took a very good catch at extra cover as Bhuvneshwar Kumar dismissed Usman Khawaja after scoring century. Later the skipper caught a catch to get rid of Glenn Maxwell in a similar fashion. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) did not take much time to compile a video of both the catches as they posted it on Twitter, with a caption which said, “Live Wire @imVkohli lights up the field”.
“The Indian captain was right on the money taking two back to back catches. Both right into his safe hands,” the BCCI added.
