Virat Kohli’s savage swag walk after taking Temba Bavuma’s catch sparks brutal mockery claims
Table of Contents
Ravindra Jadeja finally broke the partnership for India with a soft dismissal of the South African skipper, Temba Bavuma. Virat Kohli completed the catch square of the wicket and made a mockery of Temba Bavuma by seemingly imitating his walking style.
For the first time in the series, India won the toss, and the captain, KL Rahul, immediately opted to bowl first in Visakhapatnam. The dew factor was kept in mind as India opted to bowl first, and they looked to finish with the spinners before the sun goes down in this part of India.
South Africa named Ryan Rickelton into the playing XI, replacing injured Tony de Zorzi. Rickelton was sent to open the innings, while the centurion from the last game, Aiden Markram, has been demoted in the batting order.
Virat Kohli mocks South African captain Temba Bavuma with a comical walk
With Quinton de Kock and Temba Bavuma securing the Proteas with a very promising start after the early dismissal of Ryan Rickelton, India needed a breakthrough desperately, and the experienced Ravindra Jadeja finally got the breakthrough for them.
Temba Bavuma was once again dismissed in the 40s, as he was dismissed for 48 off Jadeja's bowling, who also picked up his maiden wicket in the series. Jadeja, a very smart cricketer, varied the pace and, with a flighted one outside the off-stump, lured Bavuma into throwing his hands at it.
Kohli reverse cupped the catch, which looped to the backward point region, and immediately mocked Bavuma with a comical teasing of the South African captain, who has had to face much mockery since the start of the India tour.

Prasidh Krishna delivers crucial wickets with his comeback spell
Just when South Africans were looking convinced with the partnership between Quinton de Kock and Matthew Breetzke, who came in at no. 4 following the captain's dismissal, Prasidh Krishna turned things in India's favour with his second spell.
Being uneconomical in the first spell, he returned with a 2-run over in the second. After the economic start, he dismissed the most consistent South African batter in the series, Breetzke, with his second over, and Aiden Markram in the same.
Krishna then cleaned Quinton de Kock up with a beaming full delivery that sent the centurion's stumps flying back. Krishna
