Virat Kohli was busy rescuing India yet another time in the second Test at SuperSport Park, Centurion.
Virat Kohli was busy rescuing India yet another time in the second Test at SuperSport Park, Centurion.
Virat, who scored another century, not only played his part with the bat but also tried to help other Indian batsmen. During the course of his innings he was caught swearing, joking and devising strategy by the stump mic.
Kohli, known for his aggressive side, was heard saying, “Shaam tak khelenge, inki g***d fat jaegi” (If we can play until the evening they will be scared ****less”). The incident took place just before the Tea break on Day 2 as India were comfortably placed at 80/2 with the Indian skipper and Murali Vijay at the crease. However, things did not go according to plan and India lost three wickets in the final session.
Later, skipper Kohli was recorded helping Hardik Pandya deal with the Proteas' bowlers' reverse swing strategy.
Morne Morkel and Lungi Ngidi were mixing their inswingers and outswingers in attempt to bluff Pandya but much to their dismay, the Indian batsman has been able to spot all of them accurately so far, all thanks to his skipper Kohli.
Kohli took the job of decoding the reverse-swinging deliveries from the South African bowlers for Pandya. If the shiny side was away from the batsman – which would result in the ball swinging away from Pandya – Kohli would hold his bat in the left hand while standing at the non-striker's end.
If the bowler gets one to reverse in, Kohli would switch the bat and hold it in his right hand, making Pandya give a heads up of what is to happen.
Kohli then changed the mode of communication by using his feet to signal to Pandya. Stretching out his left for for an outswinger and right one for an inswinger.
