Virat Kohli Drops Catch as Shai Hope Scores Half-Century in 2nd ODIPreviousNext

During the second ODI between India and West Indies in Guwahati, Virat Kohli dropped a straightforward catch off West Indies captain Shai Hope in the 20th over. This missed opportunity denied debutant bowler Naman Dhir his maiden wicket. Hope capitalized on the reprieve, scoring a composed half-century that helped West Indies gain momentum and take a commanding position. India captain Shubman Gill had won the toss and elected to field first.
