In A Nutshell

Kohli warned about Anushka

The Board of Control for Cricket in India has confirmed that Royal Challengers Bangalore skipper Virat Kohli will be warned for speaking with girlfriend Anushka Sharma during an Indian Premier League match.

"We shouldn't blow the thing out of proportion but I have spoken to him and told him he shouldn't speak to anyone when technically the match is still on," IPL chairman Rajiv Shukla was quoted as saying in an India Today report.

ICC's Anti-Corruption and Security Unit doesn't permit players to talk to anyone that has not been officially cleared. This also includes team owners which is why celebrity owners do not sit with the team during games.
