Gambhir slams Kohli for stump mic reaction

Former cricketer Gautam Gambhir slammed India’s Test skipper Virat Kohli for his reaction to the controversial DRS decision during the third Test against South Africa at Cape Town on Thursday.

Former Indian opening batter added that Kohli’s reaction was exaggerated and really immature.Team India was visibly irked after a controversial Decision Review System (DRS) call helped South Africa skipper Dean Elgar get his LBW decision overturned in the ongoing fourth innings of the Cape Town Test.

The incident occurred in the 21st over of the innings which was bowled by Ashwin. The spinner bowled a tossed-up delivery and it drifted in, beating Elgar on the inside edge and the ball struck him right in front of the stumps, and on-field umpire Marais Erasmus raised his finger. However, Elgar reviewed the decision and replays showed that the ball was going over the stumps, and hence the decision was overturned.

The controversial call evoked different reactions from KL Rahul, skipper Virat Kohli, and spinner Ravichandran Ashwin. First, the mic caught Ashwin as saying: You should find better ways to win Supersport (South Africa broadcaster).
