Virat Kohli Intervenes As Gurnoor Brar Clashes With Tim Seifert On The Field. Video

Young India pacer Gurnoor Brar had a verbal altercation with New Zealand opening batter Tim Seifert on the field early in the 4th ODI at Bay Oval on Friday. Brar and Seifert clashed twice on the field. The first instance took place when the rookie pacer was hit for a boundary by the Kiwi hard-hitter. The act, however, couldn't prevent Seifert from crossing the 50-run mark, doing so in just 39 balls. Not long after completing his half-century, Seifert was sent back to the dressing room by Brar.

Brar, who seemed to have been irked by something that Seifert did, walked up to the Kiwi opener after dismissing him. Before the situation became tensed, Virat Kohli intervened and pulled the pacer out.

While it was Kohli who tried to diffuse the tension between Brar and Seifert on the field, the incident reminded fans of times when the former used to be the one engaging in such duels on the field. Particularly in Australia, Kohli engaged in altercations with opponents multiple times, prompting teammates to intervene.

Now a veteran of the game who is in the twilight of his career, it was Kohli's time to prevent young players from going overboard. As for Brar, he has been one of the finds of the series for India, turning into a real wicket-taking prospect.
