Watch: Journo asks Virat Kohli 'you need to set better examples'; Team India skipper loses cool

Addressing the media after the second Test against New Zealand, India skipper Virat Kohli lost his cool on one of the journalists. It was in reference to Virat Kohli lashing out at New Zealand’s spectators after the fall of a wicket on the second day of the game.

The incident

Virat Kohli faced the crowd and shushed his critics, appearing to mouth the words, “Shut the f*** up”. Here’s the conversation with the journalist

Journalist: Virat, what’s your reaction to your behaviour on the field, swearing at Williamson when he got out, swearing at the crowd. As an Indian captain, don’t you think you should set a better example on the field?

Virat Kohli: What do you think?

Journalist: I asked you the question?

Virat Kohli: I am asking you the answer.

Journalist: You need to set better examples

Virat Kohli: You need to find out exactly what happened and come up with better questions. You can’t come here with half questions or half details of what happened. And also, if you want to create controversy, this is not the right place. I had spoken to the match referee. He had no issues with what happened. Thank You.
