Everyone makes mistakes but this is a stinker.

India captain Virat Kohli was left red-faced when he decided to call for a DRS review on an LBW call against South African skipper Faf Du Plessis.

The only problem was the ball came nowhere near the pad and was clearly blocked with the bat.

For some reason India thought they had Du Plessis when Jasprit Bumrah bowled a Yorker that was dug out by the South African but that didn’t stop the visitors from appealing.

After convening with teammates, Kohli thought he had a strong case for leg before and demanded a video replay of the ball.

As replays were shown on the big screen at Centurion, Kohli realised he’d made a mistake and cracked a bit of a smile.

It was all down-hill from there for the visiting skipper, when he was dismissed for just five in their next dig.

The India captain was on a roll prior to that brain fade, scoring 153 during India’s first innings in the second Test.
