On being asked about their face-off during an IPL 2019 match, South African fast bowler Kagiso Rabada called Indian captain Virat Kohli immature, stating that he is someone who cannot take abuses.
Talking about an altercation between the two players during a match between the Delhi Capitals and the Royal Challengers, Rabada described Kohli as someone “very immature” despite being a phenomenal cricketer as he gets angry in the field way too often, but is incapable of taking abuse himself. “I was just thinking about the game plan, really, but Virat, he hit me for a boundary and then he had a word. And then when you give it back to him, he gets angry. I don’t get the guy. Maybe he does it because it gets him going, but that comes across as very immature for me. He is a phenomenal player but he can’t take the abuse,” Rabada stated.
The two players will lock horns when the Indian team takes on South Africa in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 on June 5 at The Rose Bowl, Southampton.
