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.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India on Thursday named the final 14-member squad for the first two One Day International (ODI) matches against the West Indies.
Virat Kohli will lead the Men-in-Blue for the first two limited overs games. Delhi wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant has been included in the team.
Kolkata Knight Riders’ skipper Dinesh Karthik has been axed from the national team after his back-to-back flop shows in England and in the recently concluded Asia Cup 2018.
