‘I’m so sorry, please don’t ban me!’: When Virat Kohli pleaded match referee

Virat Kohli’s aggressive nature was highlighted during India’s 2012 tour of Australia when he raised his middle finger at taunting fans. The ICC fined him 50% of his match fee for unsportsmanlike behavior. Kohli later apologized to the match referee, admitting his mistake and avoiding a ban, recognizing it as a youthful indiscretion.
