IND vs AUS 3rd Test: Virat Kohli Close To 300 International Catches; Will Join The Special Club Of Ross Taylor And Ricky Ponting

Virat Kohli just one catch away from completing 300 international catches.

The third match of the four-match Test series between India and Australia will be played in Indore from March 1. Virat Kohli can make a special record in this match. Kohli has so far played 492 matches for India and has taken 299 catches. Once he takes one catch in Indore, he will complete 300 catches for the country. Kohli will be the second Indian player to achieve this feat. Rahul Dravid has done this before Virat. Dravid has taken 334 catches for the country in 509 matches.

Virat Kohli will join the club of Ross Taylor and Ricky Ponting

Six players have taken 300 or more catches in international cricket so far. The first name in this list is of Sri Lanka’s Mahela Jayawardena. Jayawardene has taken 440 catches in 652 matches. At the same time, in second place is Ricky Ponting, who has taken 364 catches in 560 matches. Ross Taylor of New Zealand has taken 351 catches in 450 matches and is in third place. Jacques Kallis is fourth with 338 catches and Rahul Dravid is fifth with 334 catches. Stephen Fleming is sixth with 306 catches. Now Virat Kohli is close to becoming the seventh player to do so. 

Virat Kohli is one of the best fielders in the world but of late he has dropped a lot of catches in the slips. Even in 2022, he was included in the list of players who dropped the most catches in the slips and in 2023 also, he has dropped a lot of catches in the slips. Many of these catches have also been very difficult, but at the international level players like Kohli are expected to take such catches. However, it is expected that Virat will take catches as well as score runs with the bat in Indore and end the drought of centuries in the longest format of cricket.
