It was on the last ball of the same over that Jasprit Bumraj took his first Test wicket in 18 months by dismissing Tony de Zorzi. The dismissal broke a 93-run partnership between Dean Elgar and de Zorzi.

Later, TV replays showed Kohli’s trick, which went viral on social media. Broad, who originated the act earlier this year, reacted to Kohli’s action with a two-word tweet. “With success,” Broad wrote on Twitter by tagging Kohli.

When we discussed the match, South Africa won the toss and chose to bowl first. The Indian batting order was collapsed with Kagiso Rabada running riot with a five-wicket haul. KL Rahul was the highlighter of India’s batting effort with a sensational century.

Kohli looked in fine touch with the bat with a fluent knock of 38 in just 46 balls before getting out.

In response, South Africa has taken the lead, with former skipper Deam Elgar leading with a century. Elgar is playing his final Test. Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj have taken 2 wickets each for India.
