India’s batter Virat Kohli grabbed a stunning catch while fielding in slips during the first ODI between India and West Indies. Kohli pulled off a stunning one-handed catch in the second slip region to dismiss Romario Shepherd off Ravindra Jadeja’s bowling. The fielder showed quick reflexes to pull off the catch. 

As Ravindra Jadeja had dismissed Rovman Powell in his last over by getting him caught in the first slip, Virat Kohli was called to stand in the second slip against the new batter. However, Kohli was not standing in the conventional position. He stood a bit closer to the batter as compared to the regular second slip position.

Ravindra Jadeja, meanwhile, bowled a full delivery outside the off-stump and managed to get some turn on the ball. Shepherd went for an expensive drive but only to manage a thick outside edge. The ball flew quickly off the wood and Kohli showed quick reflexes to latch onto it. The fielder leaped to his right and grabbed the catch with his right hand.

Talking about the outcome of the game, India sealed a comfortable win by 5 wickets. They lost five wickets due to a change in the batting order. Nevertheless, it was a win for the Men in Blue and they take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series. Rohit Sharma seems happy about the performance and gave a special mention to the bowlers for bowling out the West Indies cheaply.

Notably, the hosts were bowled out for a mere 114 in 23 overs as Kuldeep Yadav bagged four wickets. Ravindra Jadeja also scalped three wickets while Hardik Pandya, Mukesh Kumar, and Shardul Thakur also claimed a wicket each. With the bat, Ishan Kishan scored a brisk 52 before he was caught out. Ravindra Jadeja (16* off 21) and Rohit Sharma (12* off 19) sealed the deal for Team India.
