Kohli warned
The Board of Control for Cricket in India's Committee of Administrators (COA) has asked Indian captain Virat Kohli to conduct himself with “humility” on the tour of Australia which kicks off with a T20I game on November 21.
In the days leading up to Team India's departure for Australia on Friday, a COA member in a WhatsApp chat took up with Virat the matter of being civil and courteous in his interactions. This was followed by a phone call in which it was reiterated that he must, at all times, behave in a manner that befits the captain of the Indian team.
“He was told to be humble, in his interactions both with the press and the public,” said a COA official. It was conveyed to Kohli that his recent conduct reeked of arrogance. While Kohli's immediate response to the advice is not known, his subdued behavior at the pre-tour press conference on Thursday seemed to suggest that he had taken it seriously.
