IND vs SA: ‘What is happening in the field, people outside do not know it…’, Kohli clarified on DRS controversy

After the DRS appeal proved wrong on the third day of the Cape Town Test, the behavior of Indian captain Virat Kohli and the rest of the team is being condemned all around. Virat Kohli has responded on this issue in the post-match press conference. In fact, Team India players Ravichandran Ashwin, KL Rahul, Mayank Agarwal and captain Virat Kohli expressed their disappointment by coming on the stump mic after the DRS appeal against South African captain Dean Elgar proved wrong.

Virat breaks silence

In the post-match press conference, when Virat was asked about that incident, he defended his and the team’s behavior. Indian Test captain Virat Kohli said, ‘I would not like to comment on this, we were all inside the field and we knew what was going on there and the people who are outside have no idea about it.’

In the press conference, Virat further said about the same thing, ‘It would not be right to say that we had gone too far. Had we taken 3 wickets after that, it would probably have been a game changing moment for everyone.

The team also behaved badly

Apart from Indian captain Virat Kohli, Indian team’s off-spinners Ravichandran Ashwin, KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal also expressed their anger by visiting the stump mic. Ashwin accused Super Sport, which was broadcasting the series, and said, “You find better ways to win.”

Many former players of Team India have strongly criticized this behavior of Indian captain Virat and other players. Former opening batsman Gautam Gambhir has called this whole incident a childish act.

After the Cape Town Test, the match official has also warned the Indian team members that there should be no such behavior in the future. The Indian team will start the ODI series from January 19. The first ODI will be played in Paarl from January 19.
