Dubai, Feb. 20 -- Stalwart Virat Kohli went level with former captain and batting maestro Mohammad Azharuddin for the record of completing most catches as a fielder for India in the ODI format.

Virat achieved the feat during India's Champions Trophy opening clash against Bangladesh in Dubai on Thursday. Virat completed two catches to take his tally to 156 in the ODIs, the joint-highest by an Indian as a fielder, joining Azharuddin at the top.
