Shikhar Dhawan is not known to show his emotions on the cricket field and comes across as a person with a cool head. But on his 30th birthday in the morning session of day three of the fourth Test, the Indian opener lost his cool.
Dhawan batted well along with Cheteshwar Pujara to steady things for India after Morne Morkel removed Murali Vijay and Rohit Sharma early in the first session. But in the 23rd over, Dhawan looked miffed after getting hit on the forearm.
Immediately Dhawan signalled the substitute fielders to come out with the spray and arm guard, however, it KL Rahul and Gurkeerat Mann took some time. Finally when they showed up, Dhawan unleashed verbal attack on both the youngsters.

Even Rahul offered a banana as a peace offering but Dhawan declined to accept it. However, before getting back to the crease he tapped on Rahul's shoulder. Hopefully, at the lunch break Dhawan and Rahul would have cleared the air.
New Delhi, Dec 5: India's opening batsman Shikhar Dhawan, on his 30th birthday, lost his cool and said few words in anger to reserve player and team-mate KL Rahul during the 3rd day of the 4th Test against South Africa here today.
Though it was not clear what was said and the reason for homeboy Dhawan's anger, the visuals from the host broadcaster "Star Sports" showed the left-handed batsman upset with something and having a go at Rahul, at the Feroz Shah Kotla stadium
Following the on-field incident, Team Director Ravi Shastri also looked furious and was saying something to the players in the pavilion. All these happened during the 1st session of play on Saturday (December 5) when birthday boy Dhawan and Cheteshwar Pujara were batting in the 2nd innings. Between the overs, Dhawan asked for something from the dressing room and in came the reserve player Rahul. Gurkeerat Singh Mann joined in later with the physio.
Unhappy with something, Dhawan gestured towards the pavilion and also said few words to Rahul, the right-handed opener from Karnataka. Dhawan seemed to have been upset with the late arrival of Rahul and others. Rahul was carrying a water bottle when Dhawan wanted something else. This happened after the 24th over of the innings.
Later, Rahul offered a banana to Dhawan but the batsman refused to take it. We hope things would have been settled when Dhawan returned to the dressing room during the lunch break.

India Test captain Virat Kohli, premier batsman Shikhar Dhawan and speedster Ishant Sharma have been named in the Delhi ODI side which will be led by Gautam Gambhir for the North Zone leg of the Vijay Hazare Trophy between December 10 and 18.
The trio has been selected keeping in mind that India’s tour of Pakistan looks unlikely at the moment and there is a one month window before the team travels to Australia in January for the limited-overs series.
In case the Pakistan series happens, three stand byes have also been announced.
However, the selection committee chaired by Vinay Lamba could not give a convincing answer as to why India’s current Test captain and a prolific ODI player like Kohli was not named captain if he is available.
“We had announced Gautam as the captain for the whole season as the international players were not supposed to be available. I don’t think one should make a big issue if Virat plays under Gautam,” Lamba told PTI after the meeting was held at the Roshanara ground on Friday.

However, he clarified that the selectors are yet to speak to the India players confirming their availability.
A similar case of miscommunication had happened when Ishant Sharma was not initially named in the four-day squad despite being available as he could not be contacted at the time of the meeting.
“Look we have not had any direct contact with the players but we did not want to take any chances in case they are available. But as a safety measure, we have kept three stand byes also,” Lamba said.
