most catches in international cricket, IND vs AUS: What did Virat Kohli do… Gave life to Steve Smith, completed this embarrassing hundred too! – watch video virat kohli dropped steve smith catch completed 100th century in india vs australia test 2023

Nagpur: Former Indian captain Virat Kohli is considered to be the most agile player in the world. He is also a tremendous fielder, but on the first day of the first Test of Border Gavaskar Trophy 2023, he had an embarrassing record in Nagupar. This is the record of dropping 100 catches in international cricket. This record was recorded in his name when he dropped the catch of the opposition batsman Steve Smith.

Earlier he had dropped 99 catches, whereas this was the 100th catch. He has taken 295 catches in his career. Smith’s catch from Virat was missed on the first ball of the 16th over. Actually, Smith completely missed playing Akshar Patel’s 95 kmph speed ball in the air and the ball took the edge of the bat and reached the first slip, where Kohli was stationed.

The speed of the ball was a bit fast, so before Kohli could understand anything, the ball hit his hand and got scattered. In this way everyone was surprised. If Kohli had taken the catch here, India would not only have got the third success, but Smith would have been out for just 6 runs. If this had happened, it would have proved to be a big success for the Indian team. Earlier, David Warner and Usman Khawaja were dismissed for one run and there was tremendous pressure on the Kangaroo team.

Everyone knows the caliber of batsman Smith is. If he freezes, then Virat Kohli’s mistake can give a lot of pain to the Indian team. However, it is now time will tell what happens.
