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.
In response to Indian football captain Sunil Chhetri’s emotional appeal to the fellow countrymen to watch them play in stadiums, tennis star Sania Mirza took to Twitter on Monday, asking him if she could get the tickets.
Indian team led by Sunil Chhetri kick-started their Hero Intercontinental Cup campaign on a high note by thrashing Chinese Taipei by 5-0 in the opening match of the tournament. The match was played at the Andheri Sports Complex on Friday, June 1.
Following the win over Chinese Taipei, captain Sunil Chhetri took to his official Twitter account and posted an emotional appeal to fans to support Indian football team.
