Is it a bird, is it a plane? No, it's Virat Kohli: Twitter goes crazy over stunning catch in Perth Test

India captain Virat Kohli pulled off a stunning catch to send back Peter Handscomb on the opening day of the second Test match against Australia on Friday. The Indian captain took a one-handed blinder to get rid of Handscomb for seven runs. Ishant Sharma had bowled this back of a length outside off and Handscomb tried to go for a cut but gets a thick edge. It flew high to Kohli's right and he reached up with the right hand to pluck it.

Kohli's catch completed India's comeback as Australia lost four key wickets during middle sessions after an impressive start.

The Perth Stadium pitch, which looked flat in the opening session, came roaring to life after lunch. Jasprit Bumrah provide the breakthrough as Aaron Finch fell after lunch for 50 after sharing a 112-run opening partnership with Marcus Harris. 

Umesh Yadav then sent back Usman Khawaja, Australia's most accomplished batsman, as he tried to break the shackles after being tied down by the Indian bowlers.

Hanuma Vihari then took the prize wicket of Harris (70) who fell to a rising delivery steering the ball to first slip. 

Kohli then took the stupendous catch to send back Handscomb.

There is no doubt that catch will be talked about for a long time. However, apart from Kohli, India did no have great day in catching department as Rahul and Pant dropped catches on the day.
