The Indian captain Virat Kohli had the rub of the green on his side when South African southpaw spinner Senuran Muthuswamy was able to get the better off the batsman. Kohli was trying to play a late cut but he got the outside edge which was nicely taken by South African captain Faf du Plessis at first slip. However, when the third umpire checked for the no-ball, Muthuswamy’s front foot was way over the popping crease.

The South African players were dejected after they saw Muthuswamy overstepping on the big screen. However, Kohli came back to bat with a wry smile on his face. Kohli also had a chat with South African opener Aiden Markram before resuming his batting again.
