KL Rahul brings a plethora of leadership experience with him, having led multiple teams in the Indian Premier League (IPL) as well as Team India in the past.

Most of his decisions on the field have been good throughout the series, and he even ended India's toss curse in ODIs, winning the toss in the third ODI in Vizag. It was the first toss that India won in 21 attempts in ODI cricket.

Ahead of the commencement of the South Africa ODIs, Rahul had said that he would be supported well by Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Ravindra Jadeja while captaining the team.

However, when Kohli came up with some advice for Rahul during the third game, he was in no mood to pay heed to it and simply ignored the legendary skipper.

The incident happened in the 45th over when Kuldeep Yadav was bowling to the tailenders, and Virat Kohli urged Rahul to have two slips.

After listening to Kohli's words, Rahul instructed him to take his position on the field. He then asked Rohit to come forward and passed on a cheeky smile to him.
