In the ongoing Champions Trophy 2025, India’s top player, Virat Kohli, has taken seven catches and been run out once. He is one of the game’s most fit cricket players. Kohli’s fielding attempts have demonstrated his level of commitment and desire to win games.
The brilliant fielding move by Virat Kohli to get rid of Mitchell Santner was one of the game’s highlights.
Kohli, who was positioned close to the boundary, demonstrated his agility and alertness by quickly catching the ball and throwing it to wicketkeeper KL Rahul. Santner was caught short of his crease by this powerful smash, giving India a vital wicket. In close matches, such bursts of field genius can drastically change the tide, and Kohli’s contribution was crucial to keeping India ahead of New Zealand during their innings.

With bowlers Axar Patel and Ravindra Jadeja giving up fewer than four runs per over, India’s bowlers were especially frugal. Further impeding New Zealand’s prospects were the dismissals of important players like Glenn Phillips and Daryl Mitchell. Bracewell’s late assault guaranteed a competitive total for New Zealand despite a difficult middle portion. India will be confident in their pursuit thanks to their potent batting lineup. The game is still close, and in order to protect their total, New Zealand will need to put up a great bowling effort.
