IPL Video: Watch Virat Kohli upset with spectator, hits out at match official

Kolkata: RCB captain Virat Kohli was furious after he got out cheaply against KKR on Sunday. He was guilty of playing a loose shot as he chased a widish delivery only to offer a catch to a slip fielder. A visibly distraught Kohli at the dugout called a match official to express his disappointment over a spectator getting up from his seat which had “distracted” him. (WATCH VIDEO) "The sight-screen is very small here, one guy got up as the bowler was loading up, that distracted me. Still it wasn't a big deal. That was just one down. Nine guys could have done the job," Kohli spoke about his dismissal. "This is our worst batting performance, it really hurts. After the kind of first half that we had, we thought we could capitalise and chase it down. It was reckless batting. I can't say anything at the moment. It was that bad. This is just not acceptable," he said. The India captain said the team needs to forget about the game and just move on. "We need to forget it and move forward. We are a much better team. We got 200 plus in the last game. I'm sure everyone realises what they've done wrong. You have to come out, show intent and back yourselves. I'm sure we won't bat like that again in the tournament," he said.

"We didn't bat well at all. After where we were in the first six, we should've got 170. We need to pull up our socks in the batting department. If you want to win the tournament, you need to bring your A game out in all departments," said Gambhir.
