Virat Kohli

Kohli in double T20 drama as Bangladesh left fuming over 'fake fielding' that decided game.

Shakib and Virat Kohli moving around for a long time, tried to laugh it off. “Marais Erasmus has indicated that the no-ball is for height. Shakib Al Hasan appeared bemused by the call as he and Kohli came together in a friendly manner, as the Bangladesh captain put his arm around his rival and laughed at the call. Kohli, who was on 45 at the time, managed to hook the ball and pick up a single but as he completed the shot and ran down the wicket he remonstrated with his arms out. “You saw that we had to play in a wet outfield, but there was also a case of fake fielding which also didn’t go our way,” he told the press after the game. Commentator Harsha Bhogle said he “doesn’t know what danger is as they’re coming back for two” when Kohli, standing inside the ring, turned and delivered a fake throw to the non-striker’s end as the Tigers openers scampered back to complete their second run with the ball sent back to the wicket-keeper.

Virat Kohli has been accused of “fake fielding” after on-field umpires seemingly missed the Indian cricketer's misdemeanour during Wednesday evening's T20 ...

The on-field umpires didn't even care to recheck and instantly denied taking any action.— Nazmus Sajid Chowdhury (@nazmussajid)

Cricket laws state the act should have incurred a five-run penalty for India - their exact winning margin.

Some critics slammed the ICC’s decision to call off the game between Australia and England last week because of the “slippery outfield”, and yet India and Bangladesh were allowed to come back on after the rain delay. Those five runs which went begging proved vital in the outcome of the game, with the Indians going on to seal victory by just that margin. “You saw that we had to play in a wet outfield, but there was also a case of fake fielding which also didn’t go our way,” he told the press after the game.

Off the first ball after the delay, Das slipped as he turned for a second run and appeared to hurt his arm. Then, off the next ball, he again slipped as Bangladesh sought a second run and was run out for 60 at the non-striker’s end from a direct throw by Rahul. The wet outfield was also a controversial point, with the sides recalled to the action after a rain delay when Bangladesh were in front in Duckworth-Lewis-Stern calculations.

Virat Kohli has silenced the critics in superb fashion since landing in Australia and explained the uptick...

The guy has so much experience." That knock at MCG was meant to be, but when I come here, it's like I'm meant to come to Adelaide and enjoy my batting." I knew good cricketing shots would be the key.
