Indian captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli added a touch of humor to the ongoing second Test against South Africa at Newlands Park in Cape Town. The second day of the game witnessed some lighthearted moments involving the duo, contributing to the entertaining atmosphere on the field.

One amusing incident occurred during the last ball of the 34th over bowled by Mohammed Siraj. The delivery, directed down the leg side, hit Nandre Burger on the thigh as he was late on the shot.

The ball popped up and went straight to short leg, where Rohit Sharma was positioned. Eager to take a review, Rohit Sharma informed Virat Kohli and Mohammed Siraj about his decision. In a viral video, Rohit Sharma can be heard saying, “Leleta hu DRS m** ch*dane gaya 3-3 hai,” to which Virat Kohli responded, “Haa lele, kya pta inside edge ho.”
