South Africa vs India 2018: Best moments of the tour

2. Virat Kohli consoling Aiden Markram

The second Test match between India and South Africa was to be played at the Supersport Park in Centurion. The home side was leading the series by 1-0 and opted to bat first on a good batting track. The opening duo of Dean Elgar and Aiden Markram saw through the new ball and then latched on to any of the freebies offered by the opposition bowlers. The latter especially played some delightful strokes which were absolutely pleasing to the eyes.

Both of them defied any wicket to India until lunch. However, the visitors struck soon in the second session as Ravi Ashwin sent back Markram who was only 6 runs away from his century. He was absolutely disconsolate after missing his ton but the Indian skipper Virat Kohli who is mostly animated after picking up a wicket went to the youngster and consoled him for the same. “Well played, you were unlucky to get out,” were his words for Markram which earned praises from all the corners of the cricketing fraternity.

Moreover, Markram himself was happy to hear the words of wisdom from Kohli and hailed him for the same.
