Virat Kohli replies with a shoulder-nudge to Beuran Hendricks' intimidating stare

India and South Africa are playing the third and final T20I match at Bengaluru’s M Chinnaswamy stadium. In the three-match T20I series, India has taken a lead by 1-0 after the first match in Dharamshala was called off due to rain. India won the second T20I by 7 wickets in Mohali.

After winning the toss, Virat Kohli-led Indian team decided to bat first and put up a target for the visiting South African team. India lost an early wicket when vice-captain Rohit Sharma played an uncertain shot and edged the ball towards first slip off Beuran Hendricks’ ball.

But when Hendricks came back to bowl the fifth over there was just a little shoulder-nudge from Kohli as he ran past the South African bowler. The shoulder-nudge was a reply by Kohli to Hendricks’ stare.

Kohli was dismissed by Kagiso Rabada a couple of overs later when he whipped a shot up in the air, the ball hanged in the air for quite a bit before Andile Phehlukwayo took a catch stretching to his left near the boundary rope. Kohli scored just 9 runs off 15 balls before he was sent back to the pavilion.
