Team India was looking for their luck to turn around with the ball on Day 2 of the IND vs SA 1st Test in Centurion, and it happened, courtesy of Virat Kohli.
After bowling India out for 245, South Africa were going strong with Dean Elgar and Tony de Zorzi easily negotiating the Indian pacers.
The Indian bowlers were finding it difficult to breach the Proteas resistance which led to Virat Kohli pulling off Stuart Broad’s trick.

After the end of 28th over, Kohli went and changed the bails for a change of luck and in the very next over Jasprit Bumrah dismissed Tony de Zorzi.
Earlier this year, former England pacer Stuart Broad pulled off a similar stunt to ‘flip’ the luck in England’s way and led the hosts to an Ashes Test win at Oval.
Tony de Zorzi’s wicket opened the gates for India as they managed to get Keegan Petersen in Bumrah’s next over to get back in the game. Earlier, KL Rahul’s brilliant century powered India to 245 on a challenging wicket.
