WATCH: Virat Kohli's Hilarious Reaction After Faf Loses Toss Despite Bringing Proxy Captain

In a bid to end his losing streak at toss, Temba Bavuma accompanied skipper Faf for the toss but that didn't change anything as India won the toss

When it comes to winning toss, Proteas skipper Faf du Plessis has not had luck in his favour. Faf has lost six tosses in his last six matches. In a bid to end his losing streak at the toss, Temba Bavuma accompanied skipper Faf for the toss but that didn't change anything as India won the toss and decided to bat first. After winning the toss, Kohli couldn't help but laugh at the helplessness of the South Africa captain and just couldn't control laughing, saying "Oh man". Here’s the Video… "It shows that it isn't meant to be (win the toss with a proxy captain)," du Plessis said after losing his 10th consecutive toss in Asia. Graeme Smith, however, didn't seem impressed with du Plessis' idea of coming out with a proxy captain. "It was a quirky moment but for me it was a little bit pathetic," Smith said on the pre-match show for the official broadcaster. "It just shows the mindset of the South African side. I didn't enjoy seeing that. I would rather see the South Africa captain stand there, own his position. "You know, they are looking at the wrong places for the reasons they have lost the game. Unfortunately, they haven't played well enough. Yes, winning the toss in the sub-continent is a nice thing to do but if you play well enough, you can still compete," he added.
