Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has shared a video of Indian captain Virat Kohli and head coach Ravi Shastri on micro blogging-site Twitter. In this video, Kohli who was batting on the field, was seen making gestures towards coach Ravi Shastri. It is believed that both were supposed to declare the inning with their 'sign language'.
And now the Indian board has intervened in the matter asking people the meaning of these gestures between Kohli and Shastri. India is playing a Test series against Sri Lanka and the first match between India and Sri Lanka was draw.
Although there were some of the overs left of the day, but due to bad light the match got abandoned. During the fourth inning, Sri Lankan batsmen also tried their best to waste time. This led to the umpires warning them, but finger later also raised on Indian captain Virat Kohli. Cricket experts argued that if Kohli did declare the innings early, then Indian team could have won the match.
How about that for sign language? Care to decode this conversation between the Captain and Coach? #INDvSL pic.twitter.com/cN54UzGJy8
