Indian cricket icon Virat Kohli, stationed in that position, seemed poised to complete a routine catch. Kohli, known for his safe hands, appeared to have control initially. However, what unfolded next took everyone by surprise.
In a heart-stopping moment, the ball momentarily slipped through Kohli’s grasp, causing a brief juggle, and ultimately, landing on the ground. Visibly frustrated Kohli couldn’t believe his luck as Aasif Sheikh earned a second chance to make an impact in this high-stakes encounter.
Watch!
Did he just drop a sitter? 😭😭😭
