Team India locked horns with New Zealand in the final ODI of the three-match series at the Holkar Stadium in Indore with the host having an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series. The Indian stalwart, Virat Kohli churned out an epic dance move after taking the catch of Glenn Phillips on the delivery of Shardul Thakur to give the fifth wicket to India in the ongoing third ODI between the hosts and New Zealand.
Glenn Phillips could have become really dangerous for India but before he managed to get his eye in Shardul got rid of him as he made Phillips go after a short ball and the miscued shot ended straight down the throat of Virat. The former Indian spinner was understandably jubilant after watching the back of the dangerous Phillips and unveiled a dance move to rejoice the moment.
