Pant was going great guns with the bat after having smashed Mohammed Siraj in the 17th over of the chase. However, the third ball was a wider and he Pant reached out to it, it hit the lower part of the bat and was going over the covers fielder. Kohli, fielding over there, times his jumped to perfection and grabbed it.
He took it, started running backwards and then waved to wife Anushka Sharma in the stands.
