Virat Kohli failed to deliver with the bat in the 2025 Champions Trophy clash between India and New Zealand in Dubai on Sunday, March 2. The right-handed batter perished for just 11 runs off 14 balls, thanks to a stunning catch from Glenn Phillips at point. With the wicket, the Men in Blue were reduced to 30/3.

The dismissal came in the seventh over of India’s innings. Matt Henry bowled a short delivery wide of off-stump and Kohli went for a cut shot but Phillips leaped in the air and caught the ball with his right-hand to complete a stunner. Kohli looked in complete disbelief as he walked off the ground.

This wasn’t the first time Phillips took screamer of a catch in the 2025 Champions Trophy, the Kiwi all-rounder dismissed Pakistan’s Mohammad Rizwan with another screamer in the opening game.
