Watch- Kohli assists Rohit for a runout

The incident occurred during the final over of Sri Lanka's innings when India had just got the prized wicket of Kamindu Mendis, courtesy of a sensational direct hit from Shreyas Iyer. 

As Jeffrey Vandersay came on-strike for the final ball, Arshdeep came around the wicket, firing the ball on the stumps. 

However, the right-handed batter managed to hit it through the off side, with both Lankan batters running for a single. 

After Indian captain Rohit Sharma missed the direct hit from long-off at non-striker's end, the Sri Lankan batters attempted for a risky second run. 

However, coincidentally, the ball went straight to Virat Kohli, who picked it up and ran at a great speed to dislodge the bails at the striker's end. 

His valiant fielding effort brought a big smile on Rohit's face, as the Indian captain seemed pleased with it. 

Meanwhile, riding on an exceptional bowling performance from Washington Sundar, India restricted Sri Lanka to 240. Thus, they need 241 runs to secure a win and take an unassailable lead in the series.
