Virat Kohli involved in a heated conversation with the press after the series loss

Virat Kohli lost his cool after the 2-0 Test series loss against New Zealand. His fiery exchange with a journalist at the presser is definitely not something amusing for the Indians.

Virat Kohli loses his cool

After India’s 7-wicket defeat against New Zealand in the second Test in Christchurch on Monday, a journalist asked Kohli about his temper on the field. The Indian captain was seen putting his finger on his lips and suggesting the crowd to keep calm. He even was seen uttering some swear words at the crowd and the video went viral on social media. He also gave angry send-offs to the Kiwi batsmen during the game.

Virat Kohli involved in a heated conversation with the press

In the post-match press conference, a New Zealand journalist asked about his on-field actions which gave birth to not so warm exchange. The media person asked, “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?” Without giving any reply to the same, Kohli asked him, “What do you think?” The journalist responded with, “I asked you the question?” Then the visiting captain replied, “I am asking you the answer.”

The journalist finally gave his opinion saying, “You need to set better examples.” This did not go well with Virat Kohli who asked the journalist with better question next time. “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.”

India’s batting issue continues

Kohli has a had a history of losing his cool in media sessions after his defeats. Even in this tour when he was asked about India’s batting failure by a journalist, he sounded irked. The Virat Kohli-led side had managed to score only 242 in the first innings and as captain mentioned the bowlers did their part by restricting the hosts for 235 runs.
But Indians continued their poor show in the second innings as well and were all out for 124 runs. A target of 132 was an easy one for New Zealand. They chased it down smoothly after the half-centuries from Latham and Tom Blundell.
