Kohli attempted to navigate the delivery that curved towards the off side, aiming to assess its trajectory. However, he ended up reaching for it, making contact with the ball away from his body. The outside edge carried the ball directly into the gloves of wicketkeeper Andries Gous.
Netravalkar gave India another big jolt in his next over with the dismissal of captain Rohit for 3 to leave India 10/2 in their pursuit of 111.
It was a full-length delivery that gripped the pitch slightly, causing Rohit to close his bat face too early. The ball took a leading edge and ballooned into the air. Harmeet Singh, running back from mid-off, did well to secure the catch.
Mumbai-born Netravalkar played a pivotal role in the USA’s stunning victory over former champions Pakistan last week. The 32-year-old delivered a superb performance in the Super Over, securing his side’s unexpected win against Pakistan.
An alumni of the prestigious Cornell University and a senior techie (coder) at the Oracle, Netravalkar has been juggling academics and cricket with aplomb.
Netravalkar, who played for India in the 2010 U-19 World Cup, has shared the dressing room with the likes of KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal, even played the Ranji Trophy for Mumbai.
