New Zealand all-rounder Mitchell Santner on Friday gave the world a glimpse of his supreme confidence and dominance as a fielder, pulling off a top class catch to dismiss none other than Indian skipper Virat Kohli. Santner achieved this during the fourth T20I of the five-match series between India and New Zealand in Wellington.
Kohli attempted to flick the delivery which was bowled at a slower pacer without proper connect, resulting in a leading edge beside the pitch. Santner who was positioned at short cover, dived to his right before completing the catch brilliantly. Hamish Bennett, the bowler jumped in joy after accounting for a massive wicket on the back of the all-rounder's heroics.
Here is a video of the dismissal:
