India's talismanic batter Virat Kohli showcased his incredible fielding attributes as he took a sharp catch to help his former RCB teammate Mohammed Siraj bag his first wicket in the second innings of the ongoing Test match at Perth Stadium. After posting a mammoth total in their second innings, the visitors got two early breakthroughs, with stand-in captain Bumrah and his bowling partner Siraj oozing their class with the ball. 

After Bumrah trapped McSweeney plumb in front of the stumps, Mohammed Siraj got rid of Pat Cummins to send Australia on the back foot. The Australian captain entered the middle as the night watchman, but couldn't make an impact, as the right-arm pacer got him out cheaply. 

The incident occurred during the fourth over of Australia's second innings when India had already bagged their first wicket.
