Virat Kohli grabbed the spotlight during the first ODI between India and New Zealand at Eden Park in Auckland. He pulled off a sensational one-handed blinder to send Nathan Smith back.

The former Indian captain produced a stunning diving effort at second slip in the 29th over, making matters worse for New Zealand with another wicket.

Virat Kohli's Outrageous Catch Lights Up Eden Park In IND vs NZ 1st ODI

With New Zealand losing wickets at regular intervals, India were looking to tighten their grip on the contest. Anshul Kamboj delivered another blow in the 29th over, thanks to a moment of brilliance from Virat Kohli.

Kamboj bowled a full delivery outside off stump, tempting Nathan Smith into a drive. The New Zealand batter went hard at the ball but could only manage a thick outside edge that flew towards second slip.

Kohli, stationed at second slip, moved quickly to his right and threw himself towards the ball. He stretched out his right hand and pulled off a stunning catch, plucking it inches above the ground before it could touch the turf.

Here is the video of Virat Kohli's sensational catch to dismiss Nathan Smith in first ODI in Auckland.

Smith walked back for just one run off nine deliveries, handing Kamboj his second wicket of the day. Kohli was absolutely pumped, briefly running away before tossing the ball towards the umpire and celebrating with his trademark Bow and Arrow celebration.

India's bowlers made the most of bowling first after captain Shubman Gill won the toss in the first ODI of the five-match series. They picked up regular wickets right from the Powerplay, keeping New Zealand under pressure throughout the innings.

Kohli's effort to dismiss Nathan Smith only made matters worse for the hosts, but also highlighted India's sharpness in the field. The catch was another example of the team's clinical approach in the first ODI.

With Kohli set to turn 38 soon, his athleticism and fitness remain impressive. The one-handed catch at second slip showed that he continues to bring plenty of energy to India's fielding unit, making the catch a memorable highlight of the day at the Eden Park.
