5 great on-field gestures by Indian cricketers

#1 When Virat Kohli eased Aiden Markram's pain

Virat Kohli is known for his animated, possibly over-the-top wicket celebrations, but, during the second Test of the recently concluded Test series between India and South Africa at Centurion, the visiting skipper's gesture eased the pain of a gutted Aiden Markram.

On the first day of the Test, South African opener Aiden Markram batted majestically for his 94 before a loose shot to Ravichandran Ashwin saw him caught behind and his innings came to an end.

But, before Markram could leave the field, Kohli approached the 23-year-old to admire his knock.

"He came across and said ‘well played’ and ‘unlucky to get out’," Markram said while addressing the media.

"It was a great touch from him. He is a massive competitor as everyone sees on the TV, but it’s great to see that he’s got good values that people might not always see", he added.

"It was nice, a great gesture and it did mean a lot", Markram concluded.

Eventually, South Africa won the match by 135 runs and the series by a margin of 2-1.
