During the India vs New Zealand ODI cricket match in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, Virat Kohli got out to a stunning catch by Glenn Phillips at point. Even King Kohli looked shocked to see the one-handed flying grab.
Anushka Sharma, Kohli’s wife, was present to witness Phillips’ incredible effort. She looked immensely surprised to see the catch as well.
Glenn had a reaction time of 0.62 seconds for taking the catch. Cricket legends like Navjot Singh Sidhu and Harbhajan Singh could not stop praising the New Zealand cricketer for his extraordinary catch.
Harbhajan compared the catch with the iconic Jhonty Rhodes catch that used to be a poster on every cricket fan’s wall. The legendary off-spinner said during his commentary on JioHotstar that Phillips’ grab was even better than Jhonty’s. The coming generation will keep this as a poster to get inspired, he said.
