Dean Elgar, former South Africa captain, not too long ago revealed that in a Test match, Indian cricket star Virat Kohli allegedly “spat at him.” Elgar shared that Kohli apologized for the incident two years later after being confronted by his Royal Challengers Bangalore teammate AB de Villiers. Elgar, who retired from worldwide cricket after main South Africa within the two-Test sequence towards India in December, talked about that he had confrontations with Kohli and Ravichandran Ashwin on a podcast. Although he did not specify the sequence in query, it’s purported to be throughout South Africa’s tour of India in 2015.
“All the time,” Elgar mentioned on ‘Banter with The Boys’ podcast sitting alongside former South African all-rounder Chris Morris and rugby participant Jean de Villiers.

Elgar then mentioned, “In India…Those wickets were jokes.” “And I came into bat and I was actually like holding my own against Ashwin and what’s his name Jajeja… ja-ja-jajeja, (‘Jadeja’, said someone in the background) and Kohli, he like spat at me,” Elgar mentioned.”I said to him, ‘if you do that, I’ll f*****g *** you with this bat’,” Elgar claimed.
“Did he understand that word?” requested the podcast host referring to the beeped out phrase. (‘Felt Like My Time Was Up,’ Rishabh Pant Opens Up About Horrific Car Accident For First Time)
“Yes, he did because (AB) de Villiers was his teammate at RCB so he understood. I said ‘if you do that, I’ll absolutely knock you out’,” Elgar claimed.
The former South African opener mentioned after de Villiers discovered in regards to the incident, he took up the matter together with his good buddy and RCB teammate. Elgar didn’t specify when precisely de Villiers mentioned the incident with Kohli.
“Anyway, so, realised that de Villiers found out what he did and went up to him and said ‘bud, why are you spitting at my teammate bud? That’s not on’ and two years later, he (Kohli) calls me aside playing (in) South Africa and said ‘can we go have a drink at the end of the series?”
“‘I want to just apologise for my actions’. Two years later in South Africa, he says he wants to apologise for what he did. We had a drink, (the) punchline is we drank till 3 am in the morning. This is when he used to drink, now he is obviously converted a bit,” Elgar added.

When requested how was his expertise taking part in his remaining Test for South Africa towards the likes of Kohli and Ashwin, Elgar replied, “awesome.”
Kohli apparently didn’t have fun after taking a catch off Elgar’s bat in his remaining Test innings at Cape Town in December 2023 and hugged the South African as he returned to the pavilion. Kohli even gave one in every of his Test jerseys to the Proteas participant.
