New Delhi | Jagran Sports: Indian skipper Virat Kohli, who is famous for his athleticism and agility apart from being the run machine, took a splendid catch in the second T20I held at Thiruvananthapuram on Sunday. He caught Shimron Hetmyer right next to the boundary ropes by making an excellent and calculated dive. He ran across to his right from long-on, covered several yards, went tumbling down unable to have any control but somehow managed to keep himself from touching the boundary ropes.
