Attempting to loft the ball over mid-off, Kohli failed to get hold of the shot as the delivery bounced slightly more than expected. The ball struck high on the bat and ballooned towards Raj Bawa, who dived forward to complete a sharp catch.The dismissal marked Kohli’s second consecutive duck in the tournament.
