Security guard catches Virat Kohli’s six: In which was one of Kohli’s dominating six, it was caught by the security guard outside the fence.

During the third T20I of the ongoing India’s tour of Australia at Sydney, India captain Virat Kohli scored his 19th T20I half-century to seal the chase for India. It was yet another classic case of Kohli standing tall between the opposition team and victory.

Coming in to bat at No. 3 in the sixth over, Kohli came into a situation when India were given a prolific start by their opening batsmen in Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan. That being said, Kohli witnessed the fall of three wickets in front of him as India fell in a spot of bother.

It was a 60-run partnership between him and Dinesh Karthik (22) which rescued India. Top-scoring for his team, Kohli ended up scoring 61 (41) with the help of four fours and two sixes.

While this match set the tone for Kohli ahead of the Test series against Australia, it also raised questions on the form of Lokesh Rahul and Rishabh Pant, both of whom are also expected to feature in the playing eleven for the first Test at Adelaide.

Coming back to Kohli, scoring only 28 runs in boundaries speaks highly about his game for he seemed to have made it a point to run the required runs on the huge Australian grounds.

Of the two sixes which he hit, the first one was a thing of beauty off Andrew Tye while the other one was hit off Glenn Maxwell, which landed into the hands of a security guard. As the guard caught the ball and threw it back, he was then widely appreciated by the spectators who were sitting behind him.
