Watch: Virat Kohli's Bullet Throw Spells Doom For Cameron Green In 2nd T20I vs Australia

24.09.2022 - 04:13 sports.ndtv.com

The second T20I between India and Australia was reduced to eight overs per side and started two-and-a-half hours later than it was scheduled due to a wet outfield at the VCA Stadium in Nagpur.

But fans at the ground, who waited patiently to see their favourite cricketers in action, were not disappointed as there was no dearth of action in the match.

While Aaron Finch got the adrenaline running with a scooped boundary off Hardik Pandya in the first over, it was Virat Kohli who had the crowd on their feet in the second over with a stunning throw that brought an end to Cameron Green's innings early in the match.

Green, who hit a brilliant 30-ball 61 in the last match, hit the ball towards mid-on and hurried for a single. But Kohli was quick to get to the ball and threw it with great speed and precision to Axar Patel at the non-striker's end, and the all-rounder knocked the bails off before Green could reach the crease.
