Watch! Virat Kohli 'the fielder' wins it for Team India | India vs Afghanistan

If he doesn't fire with the bat, he does the job in the field. Virat Kohli might have got out for a golden duck in the India vs Afghanistan 3rd T20I, but it was Virat the fielder who saved the day for Team India.

He was a live wire in the field in Bengaluru on Wednesday. In the 17th over, Kohli made a stunning save on the boundary line which otherwise would have been a six.

In a match which ended in a tie, saving those crucial runs proved to be pivotal in India not ending up on the losing side.

No wonder Virat was given the 'Smart Saver of the Match' award after India pulled off a thrilling win after a double Super Over.
