A moment of magic can turn the tide of any contest, and when exceptional work is done by someone who is known for being one of the best in the business, it generates more attraction. Steve Smith produced one such moment on the final day of the WTC final which left Virat Kohli stunned for a while.

When it comes to playing in Test cricket, Steve Smith is one such individual who stays at the top of the game while batting and fielding. The former Australian skipper, whom Virat Kohli called ‘the best Test batsman of this generation’, on Sunday showed the world why he is also highly lauded for being one of the most athletic fielders of all time. Interestingly, Kohli was at the receiving end when the enchanting sight from Smith left everyone awed.

Chasing a mighty 444-run target, India resumed Day 5 of the WTC final on 164/3. Both Ajinkya Rahane and Virat Kohli batted comfortably until the latter chased a drive outside the off stump against Scott Boland, and lost his wicket for 49. However, his departure predominantly happened due to an excellent bit of fielding by Smith, who leaped to his right to grab a spectacular catch at the second slip.

While The Oval crowd, as well as Kohli, fell completely silent when Smith pulled off the stunner, Australians were delighted to see their main man’s efforts. Even the Twitterati praised Smith’s wonderful athleticism despite knowing Kohli, adored by many, became the victim of it.

Dolphin dive!
