Virat Kohli was not pleased with the behaviour of some young spectators during the second ODI between India and New Zealand, after they threw bats onto the field in an attempt to get his autograph. However, the former India captain kept his composure and appeared to warn the children against repeating the act.
A video of the incident has surfaced on social media, showing Kohli noticing the bats thrown towards the playing area from the stands. The Indian batting star subsequently picked up one of the bats near the boundary and appeared to express his displeasure at the children's actions.
