Australian Newspaper Accuses Virat Kohli Of Hurling Bottle At Aussie Official!

The DRS row between India and Australia seems to be getting more out of control as new information seems to be coming in every time.

Now an Australian newspaper has said that Kohli threw a bottle towards an Aussie official!

The Daily Telegraph alleged that had hurled an energy drink (Gatorade) bottle which hit an Australian team official.

It also accused Indian coach Kumble of storming into the umpires' room for clarification over Kohli¡¯s dismissal in the first innings.

¡°Kohli might be the aggressor in the brazen campaign India is running against Australia¡¯s integrity ¡ª even striking an Australian official with an orange Gatorade bottle ¡ª but coach Kumble, one of the main instigators of the Monkeygate fiasco, would appear to have reclaimed his role as the puppeteer behind the scenes," the report said.

¡°It¡¯s understood Kumble has also made his fury known about the actions of the match referee Chris Broad during the Test, complaints which are now to be passed onto the ICC by the BCCI,¡± it added.

It blamed Kohli for hurting the spirit of cricket.

¡°The spirit of the game notion has been pronounced dead in the game many times before, but Kohli ¡ª a law unto himself ¡ª would appear to have killed it off once again with his behaviour some of the worst by an international captain since villainous Sri Lankan leader Arjuna Ranatunga.¡±

It will be interesting to see when and if Kohli or the team management reacts. Things are certainly getting out of hand!
