Arshad Khan to Virat Kohli, no run, in the air, Gill dives forward to take the catch. Kohli asks the GT captain if he took it cleanly. Don't think Gill is very confident. Kohli suggests that the ball touched the grass. The TV umpire has been summoned. "I can see the fingers are on the side and some part of the ball is touching the ground," says Jayaraman Madanagopal. Kohli is pumped up and has a chat with Gill as well who is in disbelief. Very similar to Cox in the first innings. Kohli looked to play an uppish drive and failed to get any elevation on it. Gill timed his forward-jump well but the ball seemed to touch the grass and the fingers weren't fully under the ball. Kohli survives, lets out a fist pump and there's a big roar from the crowd. Gill wears a disappointed look
