WATCH: Virat Kohli grabs first-rate catch to dismiss Marnus Labuschagne in Bengaluru ODI

Virat Kohli grabs first-rate catch: The Indian captain continued his exceptional day on the field by dismissing the Australian all-rounder.

During the third ODI of the ongoing Australia’s tour of India in Bengaluru, India captain Virat Kohli put on display an outstanding fielding display to dismiss Australia all-rounder Marnus Labuschagne.

It all happened on the third delivery of the 32nd over when Labuschagne’s attempt of playing an aerial drive off India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja saw him walking back to the pavilion. Kohli, who was fielding at cover, dived to his right to complete the catch in a first-rate attempt.

Realizing the importance of breaking a 127-run partnership between Steve Smith and Labuschagne, the Indian skipper and other players were seen gleefully celebrating the dismissal.

Coming in to bat at No. 4 in the ninth over, Labuschagne ended up scoring 54 (64) with the help of five fours. Playing his third ODI, the 25-year old right-hand batsman registered his maiden ODI half-century today.

Coming on the back of a 96-run partnership in the second ODI in Rajkot, the visiting duo once again put a stellar batting performance.

Labuschagne was surprisingly replaced by Australia fast bowler Mitchell Starc who was sent in as a pinch-hitter. The ploy didn’t work well for the Aussies as the southpaw was dismissed by Jadeja in the same over. An economical spell saw Jadeja registering bowling figures of 10-1-44-2.
