The New Year’s Test between India and South Africa got underway on Wednesday (January 3) at Newlands, Cape Town.

Asked to bowl first, the visitors bundled out the hosts for a paltry 55 on the back of Mohammed Siraj's six-wicket haul in the very first session of the day.

However, the Proteas came out with aggressive intent with the ball and their young pacer Nandre Burger trying to get under the skin of India’s star batter Virat Kohli.

During the 15th over of India’s innings, Kohli played a front foot defence on one of Burger’s deliveries and the ball went back to the bowler.

After collecting the ball in his follow-through, Nandre Burger threatened to throw the ball at Virat. The left-arm quick also walked towards Kohli aggressively while staring at him constantly. In response, the Indian batter also stared at him and smiled back, much to the amusement of the crowd.

Here’s the video:

Virat Kohli top scored for India in the first innings. He scored 46 off 59 balls with 6 fours and 1 six, while India’s innings folded for 153, taking a handy lead of 96 runs.
