It is not rare to see batsmen being run out due to miscommunication with their partners. However, bastmen rarely show their emotions after such dismissals.

But on Thursday, Shikhar Dhawan was not happy after getting run out when his partner forced him to take a run. The man at the recieving end of Dhawan's ire was none other than Indian captain Virat Kohli.

It was only the second time Dhawan was run-out in his ODI career. Interestingly, both times Kohli was at the other end.

Dhawan was run out for 35 runs from 29 balls.

The incident happened in the 13th over of India’s chase with Chris Morris bowling to Dhawan. The India opener was struck on the pads and as South Africa appealed for leg before, Dhawan was slowed down in his response to a Kohli’s shout for stealing a quick run. With Kohli more than halfway down the pitch, Dhawan had no choice but to run for it. However, Aiden Markram was spot on target and Dhawan had no chance to make it to safety.

Dhawan was clearly upset with the push for a single. As he walked, he looked back at Kohli and shook his head while gesturing the run wasn’t there to be taken. Later, in the dressing room, a clearly irate Dhawan vented his frustration to batting coach Sanjay Bangar.

Here is how it happened:

Cricket fans on Twitter made the most of it with many commenting on the incident:
