Virat Kohli pulls Arshdeep Brar away after animated send-off to Tim Seifert
Virat Kohli stepped in as Gurnoor Brar’s animated celebration after dismissing Tim Seifert briefly raised tensions in the fourth ODI.
On Friday, November 13, India pacer Gurnoor Brar dismissed New Zealand opener Tim Seifert for 58 during the 4th ODI at Bay Oval in Tauranga.
Tensions had simmered between the pair throughout the innings after Seifert struck Brar for a boundary, prompting an exchange of words between the bowler and batter.
Brar bowled a short delivery that cramped Seifert, forcing a top-edge catch by Ishan Kishan that gave India a crucial breakthrough in the match.
Virat Kohli pulled the young pacer away to de-escalate the confrontation, while on-field umpire Chris Brown spoke to Brar, cautioning him to control his emotions.
New Zealand reached 109/2 after 17.3 overs at Bay Oval, with India having won the toss and elected to bowl first in the ongoing 4th ODI.
There was a brief moment of tension on the field at the Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui after Tim Seifert's wicket. Gurnur Brar's aggressive celebration and Virat Kohli's reaction added a touch of excitement and heat to the match.
