NEW DELHI: Not only with the bat, Virat Kohli has in him to contribute with his fielding also as the former India skipper exhibited stunning skills in the slip region to pull off a sensational catch during the first ODI against the West Indies in Barbados on Thursday.

The incident took place in the 18th over of the innings when Windies batter Romario Shepherd went for a drive off Ravindra Jadeja but ended up getting the thick outside-edge and Kohli grabbed a stunning one-handed low catch falling to his right at the second slip.

After opting to field first, Indian bowlers dished out a splendid performance to bundle out West Indies for a meagre 114 in 23 overs. This was the second lowest total by West Indies against India in ODIs.
Kuldeep Yadav (4/6 in 3 overs) and Ravindra Jadeja (3/37 in 6 overs) spun a web around Windies batters by sharing seven wickets.
Rohit Sharma‘s move to hand Hardik Pandya the new ball paid off as the all-rounder removed Kyle Mayers in his second over.
Debutant Mukesh Kumar also struck to remove the dangerous looking Alick Athanaze for his maiden ODI wicket that turned the momentum in India’s way.
