Star cricketer Virat Kohli once again put his excellent athleticism on display as he took a sensational catch during Match 43 of IPL 2023 against Lucknow Super Giants. During the second innings, LSG were chasing a target of 127 and were 21/2 after four overs with Ayush Badoni and Deepak Hooda at the crease.

On the first ball of the fifth over bowled by Josh Hazlewood, Badoni played an uppish drive which went in the air to Kohli who was coming in from covers and jumped to his full height to take an exceptional catch.

After completing the catch, Kohli blew a kiss in celebration and asked the crowd to cheer loudly for them. Kohli’s celebration is being assumed as a reply to Gautam Gambhir’s gesture of silencing the crowd at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium after LSG’s emphatic win over RCB in Match 15 of the season.
