Kohli fined for 'excessive appealing' against Afghanistan
79
India captain Virat Kohli has been fined 25 percent of his match fee for "excessive appealing" in a tense World Cup victory over Afghanistan, the International Council announced on Sunday.
The star batsman has also had one demerit point added to his disciplinary record after he was ruled to have approached experienced Pakistani umpire Aleem Dar in an aggressive manner when appealing an lbw decision during the 29th over of India's nailbiting 11-run win over rank outsiders Afghanistan at Southampton on Saturday.
Kohli was found to have breached Level 1 of the ICC code of conduct, with his offence relating to the clause concerning "excessive appealing during an international match".
The India skipper admitted the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by match referee Chris Broad, the former England batsman.
As such, there was no need for a formal hearing.
Victory, sealed by a Mohammed Shami hat-trick, saw India remain on course to qualify for the semi-finals from the 10-team group stage but only after bottom of the table Afghanistan threatened to produce one of the all-time great upsets.

Don't worry, the BCCI will flex its powerful muscles and will isolate all other member nations of the ICC. They will also force the UN to pass a resolution to make an allowance for Kohli's behaviour, and will order OPEC to stop all oil shipments to Bangladesh. Soon the world will tremble before the might of the BCCI's authority, which so many Hindustanis brag about (even though they couldn't even stop the ban on Dhoni's gloves).

Nothing new about this Indian behavior. Through out the history they have used this dirty trick of pressuring umpires and officials. They are only friendly with those umpires who come to their club of money. How come ICC does not look in to umpires dirty alliances.

Kohli had said in a pre-match statement that India will play with same intensity against Afghanistan as against any other team. He wanted to prove this point. But he over-acted and paid the fine for it. He may be a good player but is a 'badly behaved' boy, always. He's acting he's soft and kind due to his actress wife.

"Why so hatred man? I was supporting pakistani team today against SA. Seeing many pakistani comments looks shameful."
Firstly, this is a Pakistani site. So if you're surprised to see so many Pakistani comments, the problem is most likely yours.
Secondly, you're free to support whom you want - but take a good look in your own back yard, where hatred is in your DNA. Read the comments of some of your Hindustani buddies to learn a bit about hatred.
