Don't have enough capability to win a single ICC tournament as a Captain @imVkohli. then what is the use of sledging an uncapped player?

You are just pulling what aussies did to others by sledging and you are doing to an uncapped cricketer. Shame on u 😂

It's not how much you scored, it's how and in which situation you scored.

#SuryakumarYadav

Kohli came to sledge SuryaKumar Yadav during the break and Surya left like a gentleman. This shows how desperate Virat is to win this IPL. Didn’t expect this from a player like Virat Kohli.
