Proteas T20I captain Quinton de Kock can’t wait to see fast bowler Kagiso Rabada having a go at India captain Virat Kohli.
De Kock will have the best seat in the house on Wednesday when he keeps wicket in South Africa’s second T20I against their hosts in Mohali at 3.30pm.
With the first of the three-match series having rained out on Sunday, no rain is predicted for today’s encounter.
What is predicted is drama and bags of it according to De Kock.
The rivalry between Rabada and Kohli is well-documented, with the former calling the latter immature because he gets angry when he is chirped.

And De Kock can’t wait for the action to start again, saying: “Both are good players in their own right - Virat being the batsman he is and KG the bowler he is.
“It’s going to be good competition - they both like to be very positive in the way they play their cricket and it could be a great thing to watch.
“We watched the Ashes recently and Jofra [Archer] was aggressive and the way the Aussies batted.
“It’s great for fans to watch so much competitiveness when teams come together.”
