Rabada delivered a full ball on the middled and Kohli attempted to lift it over bowler’s head. But KG’s pace beat him and he ended up smashing it straight into the air and Iyer took a comfortable catch at long-on in the end while running in front of the sightscreen.

The last wicket of the over was quite funny as Rabada bowled a short ball and Pawan Negi tried to play a ramp shot over Pant’s head, but the ball took a feather-edge off the bat’s slice and Rishabh took a good catch while jumping.
