Indian skipper Virat Kohli is always charged up, on the field. Be it while batting, or while taking to the field, the Indian skipper demands perfection in all aspects of the game. There have been numerous instances when Virat has demanded a lot from himself and from his teammates too.
On Tuesday, a video surfaced online wherein Virat Kohli was not at all happy with Indian pacer Shardul Thakur. India took on England in the third T20I of the five-match series on Tuesday, wherein, the hosts had to face a humiliating 8 wicket loss by the hands of the visitors, Virat’s brilliant knock in the first innings went in vain as the Men in Blue failed to defend their total.
Watch: Virat Kohli Hurls Abuses At Shardul Thakur
One of the main reasons behind India’s loss against England was the poor fielding by the hosts for the majority of the game. Even, Virat Kohli was guilty of it when he dropped a catch of Jos Buttler in the second innings. However, prior to that incident, an incident took place that really angered the Indian skipper.
During the 12th over of the English innings, Shardul Thakur came up with an extremely poor throw when India had a chance to make a comeback in the game by dismissing Jos Buttler or David Malan. But, Shardul’s poor throw prevented that and Virat Kohli couldn’t take it. He not only reprimanded Thakur but also hurled abuse at him.

Team India Face Another Humiliation By England
The Indian Cricket Team put up another dismal show on Tuesday when they took on England in the third T20I. Losing the toss, the Men in Blue were put to bat first. However, the Indian top-order was demolished by the English bowlers. Virat Kohli proved to be the only successful Indian batsman as he came up with another scintillating half-century to help India reach a respectable total.
However, it wasn’t enough for the hosts as the English batsmen, Jos Buttler, in particular, chased down the total in a breath-taking manner. The win over India means that England have now gone 2-1 up in the five-match series and the hosts will now have to win both the remaining games in order to clinch the series.
