Former England pacer Stuart Broad was one of the first ones to react on Virat Kohli’s bail switch trick during the IND vs SA 1st Test. To note, Broad had done the same during an Ashes Test earlier this year against Australia at The Oval when he switched the bails after which Mark Wood struck with Marnus Labuschagne’s wicket in the second Test.
Kohli tried something similar to bring some luck for his team and was rewarded just two balls later as Jasprit Bumrah struck twice in quick succession to bring India right back in the game.
Kohli swapped the bails at the non-striker’s end during Dean Elgar and Tony de Zorzi’s second-wicket partnership in the second session.
The bowlers were finding it difficult to break through until Kohli’s magic turned the tide in India’s favour for a brief period as Jasprit Bumrah sent back Zorzi for 28 before removing Keegan Petersen for 5 in less than four overs during his second spell.
