Virat Kohli etched his name in the record books once again, becoming India’s all-time leader in catches across international cricket. The Indian stalwart reached the historic milestone in the Champions Trophy semi-final against Australia, taking a sharp catch at short cover to dismiss Josh Inglis off Ravindra Jadeja’s bowling.
The dismissal came at a crucial moment, with Inglis attempting to drive a delivery that held up on the surface. The mistimed shot flew straight to Kohli, who made no mistake, securing his sixth catch of the tournament and adding another chapter to his illustrious career.
India tighten grip as Australia stumble
With Inglis falling for just a brief stay at the crease, Australia slumped further, losing their fourth wicket at a precarious stage in the innings. The breakthrough extended India’s dominance, with Jadeja once again proving his effectiveness on a slow Dubai surface.
Kohli’s record further cements his reputation as one of the finest fielders in the game, his anticipation and safe hands making him a consistent threat in the field. With this catch, he now holds the record for the most catches by an Indian in international cricket—a testament to his longevity and commitment to excellence.
With Steve Smith and Alex Carry on the strike, Australia will try to not lose the momentum and reach a decent total in the first semi-final.
