Why is Healy losing respect for Kohli?

Handscomb has tweeted that he had only done so because he was “unaware of the rule” forbidding players from seeking off-field guidance.

“Very surprised to hear that, but it’s their opinion”. At the end of the day we play the game the right way. But I am still proud of the boys.

“We’ve got 1.2 billion people in India, one person doesn’t make a difference to my life”, Kohli said.

Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane shared an unbroken fifth-wicket stand of 93 to keep alive India’s hopes of a series-levelling win over Australia, giving the hosts a lead of 126 on a see-saw third day of the second test yesterday.

Australia batsman Peter Handscomb today admitted his fault in suggesting skipper Steve Smith to seek inputs from the dressing room after being adjudged leg-before off Umesh Yadav on the fourth day of the second Test, which India won by 75 runs.

His partnerships with Rahul and Rahane (52) in the second innings broke the Australian’s back and were pivotal in providing a total which the Indian bowlers could defend without too much pressure. “It was quite an emotional game for us, quite draining as well”, Kohli said the post-match media conference on Tuesday. We told the match referee also that this has to stop because there’s a line that you don’t cross on the cricket field.

India’s move to promote all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja in the batting order also backfired when the left-hander was bowled by Hazlewood for two.

India were bowled out for 274 in the second innings of the second Test at Bengaluru’s M Chinnaswamy Stadium, setting a modest target of 188 for Australia. “We’ve been inconsistent with DRS but we take our decisions on the field”.

Meanwhile, CA chief executive officer James Sutherland termed the allegations on skipper Steve Smith as “outrageous”. Everyone got along together and we showed the team spirit.

And therefore any attempt to glean input from support staff in the dressing room would be blatantly obvious, as was the case with Smith’s ill-advised “brain fade” yesterday.

He is the man India looks up to in times of crisis and it is seldom that Pujara fails his team. “Unless video synchronisation is ideal, there is simply no point putting a split screen to air as it just creates confusion and delay for the third umpire”.

The former Australian wicket-keeper legend Ian Healy commented on Kohli’s aggressive nature. The best so far of my captaincy career. This India side are reliant on Kohli and R Ashwin, but this was a Test match where others stepped up as well, particularly with the bat.
