Watch: How Virat Kohli Persuaded Captain Rohit Sharma To Take DRS In India's 1st ODI vs West Indies
NDTV
IND vs WI: Virat Kohli made a crucial intervention, convincing Rohit Sharma to make a correct call under DRS in the opening ODI against the West Indies.
Virat Kohli made a crucial intervention to persuade his successor as India captain, Rohit Sharma, to make a correct call under the Decision Review System (DRS) in the team's opening ODI against the West Indies in Ahmedabad on Sunday. The incident took place in the 22nd over of West Indies' innings when Shamarh Brooks seemed to have nicked a Yuzvendra Chahal delivery to India wicket-keeper Rishabh Pant. The umpire, however, didn't lift the finger and even the Team India players seemed unsure of whether there was an outside edge. ICYMI - @ImRo45 : Kya hai?

"Rohit, bat pe laga hai aur bat pad pe laga hai; 100% bat laga hai. Mere ko toh laga out hai," Kohli was heard telling Rohit before the latter decided to take a review. ("Rohit, the ball hit the bat and the bat hit the pad; 100% the ball touched the bat. To me it looked like it was out.")
Here is the video of the exchange between Kohli and Rohit:
