However, it was only the 5th over of the match when Matt Henry was bowling to Virat Kohli, who got a thick edge and the ball went straight towards Ross Taylor, who was the only slip fielder placed at that time.
Taylor fumbled and the ball dropped out of his hands, Kohli was given a costly lifeline.
The result of the match, Kohli remained unbeaten and scored 154 to give India the victory.
