[Watch] When Virat Kohli executed an incredible run-out to dismiss Shaun Marsh on 99 in IND vs AUS Test match

Shaun Marsh called it a day on his first-class career earlier today. The 39-year-old batter has played 38 Test matches for Australia, scoring 2,265 runs at a strike rate of 43.85.

Marsh recorded six centuries and 10 half-centuries while playing for Australia in the longest format of the game. He could have finished his career with seven hundreds had Virat Kohli not executed a brilliant throw and ran him out when he was on 99 in a Test match between India and Australia.

The incident took place in the Boxing Day Test match in 2014 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. It was MS Dhoni's last Test match for India. Shaun Marsh played brilliantly in the second innings to score 99 runs.

He pushed a ball from Umesh Yadav to the mid-off region and attempted to steal a single. While Marsh dived at full stretch, Virat Kohli's throw caught him short of his mark, forcing him to return to the pavilion at 99.
