After leaving the fans impressed with a gritty 201-ball 79, Virat Kohli made sure to create a similar impact with his fielding, helping India keep things tight for the hosts in the ongoing Test at Cape Town.
Kohli in the second session of Day 2 became the sixth sixth Indian fielder, who isn't a wicket-keeper, to complete 100 Test catches. He reached the milestone in some style, diving to his left and plucking a sharp catch at slips to bring an end to a 47-run stand for the fifth wicket between Temba Bavuma and Keegan Petersen.
