Kohli docked for beaching IPL code of conduct
As the KKR team celebrated the prized scalp, Kohli went up to the umpire to review the call as he felt it was a waist-high no-ball.
Indian skipper Virat Kohli, who was rested from the recently concluded Asia Cup 2018, will lead Team India in the upcoming two-match Test series against West Indies. The number one International Cricket Council (ICC) Test batsman Virat Kohli is just one step away from surpassing former Indian captain Mohammad Azharuddin in Test runs record against the West Indies team.
Great job by the guys to win that tight game last night. ✌🏾 @BCCI
Seventh Asia Cup title for us 🙌🏽 🏆
