India-New Zealand 1st ODI: Fans left amazed by ball boy's stunning catch at Wankhede
Mumbai: Cricket fans at the Wankhede Stadium here were left amazed after a ball boy took a stunning one-handed catch off Virat Kohli’s shot during the first ODI between India and New Zealand on Sunday.
It was in the 25th over of the Indian innings when Kiwi bowler Adam Milne put up a short length delivery, which the India captain pulled it over the long leg and fell beyond the boundary for six.
Here is a video of the catch:
It was in the same over when Kohli, playing his 200th ODI, reached to his 45th ODI fifty. Kohli played an entertaining innings of 121, as he got to his 31st ODI ton, surpassing Australian Ricky Ponting’s record of 30 tons in the 50-over format.
However, the Kane Williamson-led New Zealand team spoilt the hosts’ party as they cruised to a six-wicket win, thanks to a 200-run partnership between Tom Latham and Ross Taylor. With this win, the Kiwis have taken a 1-0 lead in the three-match ODI series.
The two teams will now head to Pune, where Virat Kohli’s men will look to level the series as they face off once again in the second ODI on Wednesday.
