Here's what Dean Elgar said about Virat Kohli

Elgar revealed that the hosts’ skipper Kohli ‘spat’ at him during the series opener of the four-match Test Series in Mohali.

“Those wickets were jokes. Like playing on that... that surface there. And I came into bat and I was actually like holding my own against Ashwin and what's his name Jeja, Jeja, Jeja (Ravindra Jadeja) (smiles) and Kohli, he like spat at me,” said Elgar in a recently released podcast.

“I said to him if you do that, I’ll f*****g*****you with this bat,” he added later spelling out a regional profanity.

Furthermore, the host of the show also asked Elgar, if Kohli was aware of the meaning of the profanity former spelt out.

“Yes, he did because de Villiers was his teammate at RCB, so he understood. And I said if you do that, I'll ... on this field, I'll knock you out. And then [he said] 'Hey F*** you, F*** you' (mimicking the Indian) but barking up the wrong tree yeah. Anyways, we are in India so you got to be a little bit cautious,” Elgar said while replying to this particular question.
