The Indian skipper, Virat Kohli was seen losing his cool in the 22nd over of the third and final Test at Newlands when his opposite number Dean Elgar got a lifeline, owing to a DRS call. The veteran Indian spinner, Ravichandran Ashwin trapped Elgar in front and the umpire raised his finger as it look plumb.
After giving it a long thought, Elgar decided to go for a DRS call. The replays showed that despite the ball hitting Elgar below the knee-roll the ball was going over the stumps. Once the umpire reversed his decision, Virat Kohli left in utter disbelief and reacted in a furious manner. Here is the video of the incident:

Even R Ashwin was heard saying at the sump mic: “You should find better ways to win Supersport”. After the event, the tension could be felt as Kohli kept the heat on with a lot of chatter.
