NEW DELHI: In a high-profile World Cup clash between Australia and India, fast bowler Josh Hazlewood has stepped forward to absolve Mitchell Marsh of blame for a critical dropped catch that could have seen the back of Indian cricket superstar Virat Kohli.
Chasing a modest target of 200 runs for victory, India could find themselves in early trouble at 20-4 when Kohli top-edged a pull shot to square leg, where Marsh was stationed to seize the opportunity. However, the catch went begging, and Kohli survived with just 12 runs to his name at that point.
