He is known for diving for every ball to secure catches and saving runs, and he did just that in the clash against New Zealand at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. On Day 2 of the third and final Test between India and New Zealand, Kohli took the catch to dismiss Ish Sodhi, who scored 8 off 14 balls (1 four).
