The Indian captain tried to taunt the sturdy Proteas captain, claiming he is trying to avoid India's premier seamer Jasprit Bumrah.

"Chirping for 13 years Dean, you think you gonna keep me quiet? We all know who wanted the match called off in Jo'burg 2018. We all know that," the Indian captain was caught saying on the stump mic.
