Virat Kohli was well known for his aggression, trying his best to intimidate his opponents in any way possible. Although he used to intimidate them by sledging them as much as possible, Dean Elgar revealed that Kohli once crossed the limit by spitting at him.

In a podcast, he revealed when he was touring India, Kohli spat at him. While facing Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin, the Indian captain spat at him. Elgar did not take it well, threatening him to beat him with his bat.

In India those wickets were jokes. I came into bat and I was actually holding my own against Ashwin and Jadeja, and Kohli, he like spat at me. I said to him, 'If you do that, I’ll f*****g *** you with this bat'.

He (Kohli) calls me aside playing South Africa and said ‘can we go have a drink at the end of the series? I want to just apologize for my actions’. Two years later in South Africa, he says he wants to apologize for what he did. We had a drink, punchline is we drank till 3 am in the morning. This is when he used to drink, now he is obviously converted a bit.
