Indian captain Virat Kohli has proved his mettle as captain and batsman but has failed in one area of the game. And when spinner Ravindra Jadeja tried to joke about that, he had to get it back from the captain.
In his recent post on Instagram, Jadeja jibed over Virat’s eagerness to use the Decision Review System (DRS). He shared a photo with the skipper and captioned, which read “Dekho bhai meine nai bola hai review lene ko (I didn’t ask you to take the review). ”
Well, Kohli didn’t take it well. He has always been best to troll back his teammate, and so he did with the Jadeja. Replying to the allrounder, he wrote “Tujhe toh hamesha out hi lagta hai. Review lene ke baad sab doubts aate hain tujhe (You always think it is out. But you start having doubts after asking for the review),” Kohli hit back at Jadeja.
Here is Ravindra Jadeja and Virat Kohli’s banter:
Virat Kohli and DRS:
Virat Kohli has been mostly unfortunate when it comes to taking DRS on the field. As per India Today, for two years, between November (2017) and October (2019), Kohli did not get a single DRS call right as a batsman.
He has a success rate of 8.3% when it comes to using the DRS, which is the worst among the 34 batsmen with five or more reviews – barring Usman Khawaja.
As former Indian captain, MS Dhoni was the wicket-keeper, he was better at taking DRS call than Virat Kohli.
Meanwhile, Kohli has been spending time with his family during the lockdown. He regularly posts work out videos on his official Instagram account. He also posts awareness video to follow safety guidelines during the pandemic.
