Indian captain Virat Kohli has bristled at suggestions he needs to set a better example with his on-field behaviour after appearing to address the Hagley Oval crowd yesterday with a foul-mouthed taunt.
Kohli was not pleased today when a local reporter claimed that he swore at Black Caps captain Kane Williamson after his dismissal, as well as the crowd.
“You need to find out exactly what happened and come with a better question,” Kohli said.
“You can’t come here with half questions and half details about what happened.”
“Also, if you want to create controversy this is not the right place to be, I’ve spoken to the match referee, he had no issues with what happened.”
“Thank you.”
Yesterday, the dismissal of Black Caps opener Tom Latham sparked an emotional outburst from Kohli.
After Latham was bowled for 52 by Mohammed Shami without playing a shot, Kohli instantly turned to the crowd and let out a huge roar.
Kohli then followed that up by putting a finger over his mouth to shush the spectators before appearing to say, "Shut the f*** up."
