Kohli who is standing at deep square leg, runs around to his left and covers a fair bit of distance but it still should have been an easy two. The batters just stutter for a moment and that has cost them as Kohli fires in a bullet of a throw at the bowler's end. Green collects it and almost makes a mess of it while dislodging the bails but the replays show that the ball wasn't completely out of his hand and it is fair run out with Jurel's bat having nothing inside the popping crease.
