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.
India’s first World Cup winning captain Kapil Dev believes Virat Kohli is a “special” player as he got “talent” and his “hard work” makes him “superhuman”.
Heaping praises on Virat Kohli, Kapil Dev said the stylish right-handed batsman was not only “talented” but also “disciplined”.
“I think he is a special person, a special player. I think certain people are special and he is one of them. The people who have talent and are ready to work hard they become superhuman. So I think he is talented and disciplined and that makes him what he is,” Kapil Dev told NDTV.

Kapil Dev, who is often regarded as the best all-rounder to play for India, also backed former Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Talking about Dhoni, Dev said it was important for the critics and fans to realise that MS Dhoni was no longer 20.
“I think whatever he has done, he’s done a great job. But I think the bad part is we are expecting the same 20 or 25 years old Dhoni, which is not going to work. He has experience, if he can help the team with his experience, it’s well done,” Kapil Dev said.
“But one thing everyone should understand that he is not 20, and he is not going to be 20 again. So whatever he brings to the table, if he can make himself available and he can play good cricket, he is an asset to the team. Only his fitness is important and I wish he keeps on playing more matches,” Dev explained.
