Christchurch: Skipper Virat Kohli had a fiery exchange with a journalist after losing Test series 2-0 against New Zealand. The skipper lost his cool during a presser when a journalist asked him whether he needs to tone down his aggression, but it was clearly visible that his question irked one of the best batsmen of the world.   

On Day 2 of the second Test, Kohli's video of giving angry send-offs to Kiwi batsmen and even on one occasion, allegedly using expletives towards the crowd was caught on camera. The incident had occurred when Shami dismissed Tom Latham in the first innings of the second Test. His on-field antics went viral on social media.

When Mohammed Shami got Latham bowled, Kohli turned towards the Kiwi spectators and allegedly said: “Shut the f**k up.”


Captain Kohli Gets Riled Up

A journalist asked Kohli whether he needs to tone down his aggression and set an example for his team. To this, the Indian skipper got a little riled up and said: "What do you think? I am asking you for the answer. You need to find out exactly what happened and then come up with a better question, I have spoken with the match referee, you cannot come here with half knowledge. Thank you".

Kohli had a tough time with the bat in hand during the New Zealand tour as he managed to go past the fifty-run mark just once. In the Test series, the Indian skipper failed to even go past the 20-run mark.

India's horrid batting performance resulted in the team's loss by seven wickets in the second Test of the two-match series against New Zealand on Monday here at the Hagley Oval.
