Perth: India’s premier batsman and team’s vice-captain Virat Kohli today suddenly lost his cool after the training session as he hurled abuses at a journalist before the side’s group league game against West Indies at the WACA on Friday.
It didn’t occur to anybody that something of this sort will happen. Once Kohli was done with his training and was returning to the dressing room, he saw a scribe of a national daily in front of him. ICC Cricket World Cup 2015: Pool-wise Team Standings

The particular journalist also seemed clueless but once Kohli cooled down, he told someone about an article that had appeared about him and his girlfriend Anushka Sharma in a national daily and he thought that it was that particular journalist, who had written the story.
