Anushka Sharma was left utterly shocked after Virat Kohli’s early dismissal against New Zealand on Sunday, March 2, during his landmark 300th ODI appearance. Kohli, who was expected to make a big impact in the crucial Champions Trophy match, managed to score only 11 runs before falling victim to an unbelievable catch by Glenn Phillips. Fielding at point, Phillips pulled off a superhuman effort, diving full stretch and plucking the ball out of thin air, leaving everyone in absolute disbelief.
Anushka, watching anxiously from the stands, reacted in horror, mouthing “Oh My God!” as the stadium gasped in shock at the stunning turn of events. Kohli himself was frozen at the crease, unable to believe his luck, as Phillips celebrated his moment of brilliance with his teammates. The breathtaking catch not only turned the momentum in New Zealand’s favor but also sent a wave of disappointment through Indian fans, who had high hopes for Kohli in such a crucial encounter.
The dismissal came at a time when India was looking to build a solid foundation, and Kohli’s presence in the middle was expected to be a key factor in the team’s strategy. However, Phillips’ heroics in the field ensured that New Zealand got the upper hand early in the game. The electrifying atmosphere in Dubai added to the drama, with Kohli’s stunned reaction and Anushka’s visible disbelief capturing the emotional rollercoaster of the moment.
