T20 World Cup 2022: [Watch] Virat Kohli produces a stunning run out to catch Tim David short of his crease

Virat Kohli was spectacular on the field in the warm-up game between India and Australia at the Gabba in Brisbane on Monday, October 17.

The former Indian captain, who is arguably one of the best fielders in the game right now, showed once again why he is so highly rated. With the match hanging by the wire, Kohli produced a brilliant run-out to tilt the game in India's favor.

The incident took place in the 19th over when Josh Inglis tried to sneak in a single, tapping the ball on the leg side. Kohli, who was stationed at mid-wicket, sprinted a few meters before swooping on the ball and hitting the bullseye with only one stump to target. Tim David was well short of his crease and didn't wait for the third umpire's decision.

Watch the clip here:

Kohli continued his brilliance on the field and produced a breathtaking catch on the boundary moments later. A brilliant hit from Pat Cummins was destined to go over the rope. But the former Indian captain timed his jump to perfection to pull off the stunner with just one hand inches away from the boundary.

India prevail over Australia in the first warm-up game

India began their final leg of preparations with a nail-biting victory by six runs over defending champions Australia.

Asked to bat first by the home side, the Men in Blue posted 186/7 in 20 overs. KL Rahul (57) and Suryakumar Yadav (50) starred with the bat for India. Veteran wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik provided a late flourish with a 14-ball 20.

In response, Aaron Finch gave Australia a fine start with a 54-ball 76 runs knock, including seven boundaries and three sixes. The hosts were ahead in the run chase before Rohit Sharma and Co. pulled things back in the final overs.

Kohli's stunning fielding efforts and Mohammed Shami's brilliant final over helped India secure a six-run victory.

Shami, who replaced Jasprit Bumrah in India's T20 World Cup squad, bowled only the 20th over and returned with figures of 3/4 to successfully defend 11 runs.
