In a match at the Asia Cup 2023, India faced off against Nepal in a crucial match. While the fans are present on the ground for this clash, it was an awe-inspiring moment that stole the spotlight. Virat Kohli, the Indian cricketing maestro, showcased his exceptional fielding skills with a superb one-handed catch that played a crucial role in making Indian team dominant in this game as they dismissed well settled batter Aasif who was playing on 58 runs.
Mohammed Siraj, India’s promising fast bowler, was struggling to take the wicket of Nepal’s batsmen but got one later. Aasif Sheikh, who had been anchoring the innings for Nepal, seemed well set at the crease. His resilience was causing concerns for the Indian team, who were eager to make a breakthrough.
It was in the 30th over of Nepal’s innings when the moment of magic unfolded. Siraj bowled a teasing delivery outside off stump, inducing Aasif to play a shot. The ball took the edge of the bat and flew towards Virat who was standing on short covers. However, Virat Kohli fully stretched, and took the ball with his right hand.
