During day 1 of the 2nd Test match between India and South Africa at Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune, team India batsmen had dominated the game which totally frustrated the South African bowlers.
The South African bowlers were trying their best to take wickets but failed each time. This totally angered Kagiso Rabada, who was seen expressing his frustration on teammate Quinton de Kock.
The war of words got so intense that made skipper Faf du Plessis to intervene into the matter and dissolve the case.
A video of the war went viral when Rabada came in the 123rd over. As Ravindra Jadeja made his ground strong on the field, already frustrated Rabada threw the ball back to the keeper. However, de Kock was not paying attention that time, so the ball went beyond the head of the keeper, allowing India to run for an extra run.
Looking at this, Rabada blew up on de Kock asking him to “Watch the f****** ball”. De Kock, who had no idea about what is going on responded back rudely after which they both ended up in a heated verbal argument.
Team India skipper Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane made their grounds strong and scored the boundaries easily. Rahane made his half-century while Kohli also scored his 26th Test century with a boundary.
Below is how people on social media reacted to this incident:

De kock and rabada (teammates) are fighting with each other. South Africa cricket team in total mess. Anyone can beat them ATM. This probably sums it up. #INDvSA

Rabada and de kock are not doing good together. This is not a very good sign for Faf as a captain. Rabada is looking frustrated. #INDvsSA

The language used by Rabada is disgusting and sets a terrible example for our youngsters. Quinton de Kock is not watching the ball so I don't blame him but not on TV please. This is all indicative of Faf du Plessis’ captaincy standing with his arms folded SIS!!! @OfficialProteas
