South Africa vs India: Virat Kohli slammed over angry stump mic rant on Dean Elgar's contentious LBW DRS call

South Africa vs India: Virat Kohli faced flak on social media for losing his calm and passing comments into the stump mic along with his teammates after an LBW decision against Dean Elgar was overturned on Day 3 of the Cepe Town Test

Virat Kohli's frustrated stump mic rant has taken the spotlight after an absorbing day's play on Thursday in the 3rd and final Test against South Africa in Cape Town. Kohli and his teammates did not mince words as they expressed their frustration over an overturned LBW decision that went in favour of Dean Elgar in the 21st over of the final innings of the fiercely-fought Test match at Newlands. The bounce of the pitch - a significant factor in Dean Elgar's successful review.#SAvIND pic.twitter.com/GI2rXjgjwd Virat Kohli speaking right into the stump mic indicating that the DRS is definitely rigged to favour South Africa.KL Rahul: whole country against 11 people pic.twitter.com/1KMZscTAF4 Unnecessary comment , accept and play on please ?? #INDvsSA Yes. The decision went against India. But after that, there’s been some ordinary bowling. Leaked a lot to runs. Indians need to re-group & put that behind. This is exactly how Karnataka lost the plot in frustration, after Pujara was given not out in the Ranji semis #SAvIND Virat Kohli should worry about team selection, batting of the team. He behaved like a sore loser the way the statements were made on the stump mic. ??#INDvsSA If India deserve to win this Test, it is for Pant, & Bumrah, & Shami. Not for that other guy, who is so unsportsman-like despite being one, who thinks he can say & do what he wants. Use your passion & aggression to spur you & your side, not to accuse others of cheating.#SAvINd Looking forward to the punishment coming to Virat Kohli after that comment into the stump mic. #SAvIND Virat Kohli is gonna cop a huge fine for that stump mic comment.

KL Rahul, the vice-captain, accused the third umpires of favouring the home side while Virat Kohli hinted that they are not being careful enough as Dean Elgar survived an on-field LBW call that has divided the cricket fraternity.
