Watch: During the IND vs. SA 2nd Test, Virat Kohli stares at Nandre Burger for sledging him
The premium batsman of India, Virat Kohli, loves on-field rivalries, and it often brings the best out of him, especially while batting. During the second Test between India and South Africa in Cape Town, Kohli gave a cold stare to Proteas bowler Nandre Burger for intimidating him with the ball.
The incident took place during the 15th over of India’s first innings. Burger bowled a fuller-length ball on the middle stump, which Kohli defended on the front foot. The fast bowler looked pumped after collecting the ball and shaping it to throw it to the batter. Kohli stared at him with a smile as the crowd roared to celebrate the moment. The development came off the first ball faced by Kohli after Burger dismissed Indian captain Rohit Sharma.

For the uninitiated, Nandre Burger starred with the ball on his Test debut for South Africa, picking up seven wickets as the hosts registered an innings and 32-run win over India. The left-arm pacer has already picked up the wickets of Rohit Sharma, Subhman Gill, and Shreyas Iyer in the ongoing game.
