Kohli was introduced into the attack by skipper Rohit Sharma and ended up dismissing Scott Edwards. The ball drifted down the leg stump and KL Rahul pulled off a sharp catch off Edwards's outside edge. The celebrations erupted as soon as the umpire raised his finger and Kohli turned towards the stands to show his happiness. Wife Anushka Sharma was in the stands and her reaction has gone viral.
