India vs New Zealand's fifth and final ODI match has been ongoing at Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui. During the second innings of the match, former India captain Virat Kohli dropped a sitter on Arshdeep Singh’s bowling in a low-scoring game and was gutted after dropping the catch in the middle overs, and smashed the ball into the ground.

This is a must-win game for both sides, as a win would provide India with their first series win in seven years in New Zealand, and the win would help the Kiwis to keep their bilateral series record alive, as the Black Caps have not lost their last 11 bilateral series, interesntingly the win would help them earn a draw in this series.

Virat Kohli drops a sitter to give Dean Foxcroft a lifeline

In the 18.1 over, Arshdeep Singh came round the wicket to new batter Dean Foxcroft, with an attacking field with two slips in place; Virat Kohli was placed at the second slip, and the first ball had a thick edge and went straight to the former India captain at a good catching height, and he dropped a dolly.

Virat looked gutted after dropping the catch and looked straight up at the sky, as he himself could not believe that he had dropped an easy catch. It is not very often that the 38-year-old batter drops a catch or makes a fielding error in a game, as he has always been sharp, and after the over, he smashed the ball into the ground.
