News Headlines India is that Elgar added that when India toured South Africa in 2017–18, two or three years after the incident, Kohli had come to him to apologize. According to Dean Elgar, a former captain of South Africa, Virat Kohli, a former captain of India, once “spat” on him during a Test series.
Elgar stated that the event occurred during South Africa’s 2015 tour of India, namely during the first Test at the IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali. There were five ODIs and three T20Is in the extensive series in addition to the four Test matches. India had swept the series 3-0 with one match ending in a draw after winning the opening Test by a margin of 108 runs.
Those were absurd wickets. Similar to having fun on that surface there. Elgar stated on the podcast “Banter, with The Boys” that “and I came into bat and I was actually like holding my own against (Ravichandran) Ashwin and what’s his name Jeja (Ravindra Jadeja) (smiles) and Kohli, he like spit at me. I threatened to f*****g ***** you with this bat if you do that,” he continued, utilizing a swear word from South Africa.
Elgar responded to a question about whether Kohli understood the meaning of the term by saying, “Yes, he did because de Villiers was his teammate at RCB, so he understood.” And I threatened to completely knock you out on this field if you did that. Then, like an Indian, he yelled, “Hey, F*** you, F*** you,” but he was barking up the wrong tree. Anyway, you should exercise some caution because we are in India. The top news in India is that Elgar claimed that de Villiers had questioned Kohli, “Why are you spitting at my teammate?” after learning that the cricket player had spit on him.
After the series, Elgar recalled, Kohli called him aside and said, ‘Listen, can we have a few drinks after the series? I want to apologize for my behavior.’ We ended up drinking until 3:00 in the morning, Elgar said. “That’s when he was at his best,” Elgar added. Elgar retired from international cricket at the end of the current series, with his final match taking place at Cape Town’s Newlands. In fact, Elgar was asked to lead South Africa in the second Test, which was originally scheduled to be played without Bavuma due to injury, after India won the first Test and levelled the series 1:1.
