Virat Kohli slams Aakash Chopra

Aakash Chopra slammed Virat Kohli for not accepting the third umpire's decision during the KKR-RCB match at the Eden Gardens. The veteran was caught behind off a high full toss bowled by Harshit Rana. The on-field umpire gave him out and Kohli didn't get any respite from the third umpire after taking DRS.

Virat lost his cool and abused the on-field umpires as he was not happy with the result. After the match, he had another round of discussions with the umpire. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) fined him 50 per cent of his match fee for not accepting the decision and taking on the umpires.

In the CSK vs. LSG match, KL Rahul was seen arguing with the umpire after a ball was called wide during CSK's innings. The Lucknow skipper took a DRS but went to the umpire to chat.

Former India player Suresh Raina didn't like Rahul's behaviour.

“Why is he arguing with the umpire? Rahul has taken DRS and let the third umpire decide. I don’t understand why he is arguing with the umpire.” 

Aakash Chopra, who was sitting next to Raina commentating, took a dig at Virat.

Meanwhile, KL Rahul was proved wrong as the third umpire upheld the on-field umpire's decision.
