'Run kum reh gaye, century pakki thi waise': Virat-Arshdeep's funny banter after series win over South Africa

Virat Kohli featured in a funny video with the Indian pacer Arshdeep Singh in a video posted by Punjab Kings (PBKS) social media handle following India's series-clinching win over South Africa on Saturday.

India restricted South Africa to 270 in their innings, thanks to four-wicket hauls from Prasidh Krishna and Kuldeep Yadav. In response, openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rohit Sharma added 155 runs for the first wicket, with Jaiswal reaching a century and Rohit scoring 75 runs. Virat Kohli wrapped up the chase with a quick 65 off 45 balls.

Virat came into the match having scored two consecutive centuries in the first two matches of the series.

In a video posted by Arshdeep's IPL franchise, PBKS, he joked with Virat Kohli that if the target had been bigger, Kohli might have scored a third consecutive century.

"Paaji, run kam rehgaye, century aaj pakki thi waise (Brother, the target wasn't big enough, otherwise a century seemed certain)," Arshdeep said.

Kohli playfully responded, saying, "Toss jeet gaye, nahi toh teri bhi pakki thi dew mein, (Be thankful we won the toss or even you have been hit for a century in the dew!)."

Dew played a key role in the series decider, as India elected to bowl first. As the evening progressed, the moisture on the ground made conditions tricky for the South African bowlers.
