Kohli fined for obscene sign


Virat Kohli has been fined 50% of his match fee after making an obscene sign during Australia's enormous first innings in the second Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground.

Kohli plead guilty to a level-two charge of "using language or gesture(s) that is seriously obscene, seriously offensive or of a gravely insulting nature to another player, player support personnel, umpire, match arbitrator or any third person during an international match".

A press photographer wedged the India number six raising his middle finger towards a section of the crowd - a gesture they say that prompted by criticism from the audience as Australia piled on over 300 runs on day two.

India was only able to pick up one wicket on a trying day. Team manager GS Walia said: "The matter has been determined. The player felt guilty and sorry and the matter has been closed.

"When he went to the match umpire, he (Kohli) said 'sorry and that out of emotions I must have done it'."
