Kohli’s diving catch dismisses Smith in first ODI

Virat Kohli took a low, one-handed diving catch at second slip to dismiss New Zealand batter Nathan Smith in the first one-day international at Eden Park in Auckland, a wicket credited to bowler Anshul Kamboj. The third umpire reviewed the catch and confirmed Kohli had control of the ball. Smith edged a delivery from Kamboj while attempting a drive. The ball travelled low to Kohli’s right, and he dived to hold it just above the turf. Smith had scored one run from nine deliveries when he was dismissed. Kohli celebrated with a bow-and-arrow gesture after the decision was confirmed. Match accounts also described him making a John Cena-inspired “You can’t see me” gesture. One account said he directed it toward teammates; another linked it to Glenn Phillips arriving at the crease. The reporting does not establish whether the gesture was intended as a specific reference to Phillips. Phillips came in with New Zealand four wickets down for 84, according to a match account. He later scored 30 runs from 51 balls before Arshdeep Singh dismissed him, with Shreyas Iyer taking the catch. New Zealand was eventually bowled out for 185 in 40.2 overs. The catch came during India’s first ODI...
