South African pacer Lungi Ngidi on Thursday said the Indians were clearly 바카라˜frustrated and under pressure바카라™ as a controversial DRS call saved home skipper Dean Elgar, triggering angry reactions from the visiting camp on day three.

Elgar was caught plumb by spinner Ravichandran Ashwin in front of the stumps and umpire Marais Erasmus raised his finger. But the decision was overturned with the ball tracker suggesting that the ball would have gone over the stumps.

There was drama and constant chatter by captain Virat Kohli, his deputy KL Rahul and ace off-spinner Ashwin, who seemed to suggest that broadcaster Supersport TV rigged DRS on stump mic.

바카라œReactions like that show a bit of frustration. And sometimes teams capitalise on that. You never really want to show too much emotion, but I guess we could see clearly right there that emotions were high,바카라

Ngidi said during the media interaction after the end of the third day바카라™s proceedings.
A fuming Kohli showed his anger at the end of the over, going up to the stumps and saying: 바카라œFocus on your team as well when they shine the ball eh, not just the opposition. Trying to catch people all the time.바카라

Ashwin was also caught saying: 바카라œYou should find better ways to win Supersport바카라, while India vice-captain was heard commenting: 바카라œWhole country playing against XI guys.바카라 Ngidi said it was clear that Indian camp was rattled.

바카라œThat probably tells us that maybe they are feeling a little bit of pressure. That was a good partnership for us as well. So they really wanted to break that partnership.

바카라œThose feelings ended up showing there. But at the end of the day, I think everyone reacts differently to certain situations and probably what we saw there, probably how those guys were feeling at the time,바카라 Ngidi said.

Backing the DRS system, Ngidi further said: 바카라œYes (we trust DRS).바카라 바카라œI mean, we바카라™ve seen it on numerous occasions being used all around the world. It바카라™s a system in place and that바카라™s used in cricket,바카라 he added.

Chasing 212, Elgar and Keegan Petersen (48 batting) put on a crucial 88-run stand for the second wicket before the skipper got out to Jasprit Bumrah at the stroke of stumps on day three. South Africa now need 111 runs with eight wickets in hand.

바카라œI think everyone바카라™s still in the game to be honest with you. If we would have a 60-run partnership upfront tomorrow morning that puts us in a good position. But if they take a wicket then the balance shifts to them. So I think it바카라™s perfectly poised at the moment. Tomorrow's morning session is going to be really important,바카라 he added.
