The incident happened in the 23rd over of South Africa’s second innings on the third day. Field umpire Marais Erasmus ruled out an appeal by the Indians after Ravichandran Ashwin’s fourth ball hit Elgar’s pad in the over, but the decision was overturned by a DRS review.

The incident sparked controversy when Indian captain Virat Kohli, spinner Ravichandran Ashwin and vice-captain KL Rahul seized stump mics. The Indian captain went to the stump mic and reacted harshly to those who had ruled against him. ‘When we shine the ball, don’t just focus on ourselves, but always focus on your own team.’ – Kohli said.

Meanwhile, spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has expressed his displeasure over the name of Supersport, which broadcasts the match in South Africa. ‘Look for other good ways to win the competition, SuperSport.’ – India vice-captain KL Rahul has said that the whole country is playing against 11 players.
The Indians reacted in frustration and anger at the loss of a solid wicket. However, apart from the Indian players, Erasmus, who had ruled out Elgar against the DRS decision, also expressed his displeasure and the stump mics were seized. Erasmus reversed his decision and ruled that Elgar was not out, saying it was not possible.
