Virat Kohli Catch: Virat Kohli’s catch in the India vs Australia Sydney Test has become a topic of discussion. Actually, Steve Smith had caught him in the slip, but after TV review, the third umpire declared Kohli not-out. After that Steve Smith was seen nodding his head. He was confident that his catch was correct, but the cricket world is asking the question whether Kohli was out or not-out? Let us know what the truth is.
The incident occurred when Scott Boland bowled a short ball in the line of off-stump, which took a lot of bounce. Due to this, the ball dodged Kohli and reached the hands of Steve Smith standing in the slips. Smith dived to his right and took the catch with his right hand. Smith had thrown the ball in the air due to loss of balance. The ground umpire did not seem satisfied with the catch, so indicated for TV review. In the replay it was found that some part of the ball was touching the ground, hence the third umpire declared Kohli not-out.
Was Kohli out?
Former Australian coach Justin Langer believes that Kohli was out. He said, “As far as I think, Virat Kohli should have been declared out. Smith’s finger was under the ball and you can see that with that finger he bounced the ball up. What he did was brilliant. Was.”
During the Sydney Test, a commentator gave his opinion and said that giving Kohli not-out was the right decision. But former England team captain Michael Vaughan expressed his objection through social media and said that according to him Kohli was out.
