The catch was far from easy, with Kohli positioned well outside the 30-yard circle at square leg. Yet, displaying the fitness, agility, and sharp reflexes that have made him one of the game's finest fielders, he snatched the ball brilliantly.
As Short trudged back to the pavilion, Kohli's effort drew an immediate reaction from Shubman Gill. Overjoyed, Gill ran up to his teammate, giving him a hug and a congratulatory pat on the back.
The moment not only celebrated Kohli's brilliance but also highlighted the strong bond and camaraderie the two share, both on and off the field.
