Catches can win you matches and especially if it is Virat Kohli, it can well set you on course for a win. So what if it is the first innings of a Test match.
And on Thursday, the Australian team would definitely like to believe so as Usman Khawaja pulled off a stunner by diving to his left at gully to get rid of the Team India captain at the Adelaide Oval.

Cummins bowled one on a good length and outside off, Kohli went fishing for a drive and got a big fat outside towards gully. Khawaja, who was stationed there, dived to his stronger side and took a one-handed stunner to dismiss Kohli for 3.
This was the second time Kohli got out to Cummins and as of now, the 25-year-old has bowled four deliveries to him in Test cricket and got him out twice.
Kohli's wicket went hurt India bad after they lost their openers early. Ajinkya Rahane, who came out attacking, also followed suit as India were reeling at 41/4. However, Cheteshwar Pujara and Rohit Sharma saw off the rest of the session and went to lunch on 11 and 15 runs respectively when lunch was taken.
