Did Kohli Tamper with the ball at Rajkot?South African/British Media publishes video[Update:ICC rubbishes the allegations]

[Tibarn]

Kohli should learn from ATGs like Imran Khan. Bottle caps are enough to make one a legend, no need for sticky substances. 

[MechEng]

Star Sports has blocked the video on copyright basis, not sure whether Kohli is chewing a gum or sucking mint lozenge.

 I will ask you,   Why can't Kohli shine the ball by appealing the saliva like all other players do? Why did he use his chewing-gum to shine the ball?

He did not " use " the chewing gum.   If you see the video carefully, it will be clear to you.  Most cricketers chew gum to prevent their  throat from being dry.

Sad for the cricket world. unfairness rules the world  Best example is there are no bilateral series held during April since having IPL. This happening since few years, unlike early days. Money, Politics, Corruption all were came into cricket through IPL.  

 

Pakitani cricketers were corrupt and into politics well before IPL. Money they didn't have before IPL, and they don't have after IPL.

Trolls tagging trolls. Blind leading the blind.....

By the way getting reverse swing with a mint candy is not that easy. I read an interview with Marcus Trescothick where he said that it took time to find the right brand of mint to get the ball to reverse, initially the county teams tried Nestle polo mints, it didn't work and later they got Murray mints which worked the best because of it's high sugar content.

Quote

Allegations of ball tampering levelled against Indian Test captain Virat Kohli by a British tabloid do not hold much ground as per the specific clauses in the ICC’s Rules and Regulations about playing conditions.

A British tabloid accused that some footages indicated that Kohli appeared to shine the ball using residue from a sweet during the first Test in Rajkot.

The report claimed that TV cameras indicated Kohli putting his right hand towards his mouth and then appeared to shine one side of the ball.

However, there has been no complaint filed by the visiting team and they declined to comment on the issue.

As per ICC regulations on ball tampering, if a team wants to lodge a complaint about ball tampering by a rival team or its player, it has to be done within five days of the completion of the Test match.

According to ICC’s 3.2.2.1 a Level 1 Offence or a Level 2 Offence that is alleged to have been committed at any time or place (whether on the field of play or otherwise), then the report must be lodged with the Match Referee (or, where, for logistical reasons, it is impractical to lodge with the Match Referee, the ICC’s Cricket Operations Department) within five (5) days of the commission of the alleged offence.”

The match in question is the Rajkot Test which ended on November 13 and if England team had any complaints, they needed to make it official by November 18.

All the ICC clauses, thus, put to rest media reports surrounding the incident.

dude needs some teeth cleaning!! I can't understand how rich people have dirty teeth .... e.g. SRK, Ajay Devgyn, etc. Sheesh!!

Yeah, always wondered about it. Super rich and can't fix their teeth, which would cost them less than 30K

[Misbah]

This is disgusting. Never expected from a high class player like Kohli. Disgraceful.

Wonder why england did not complain. Usually they whine about a lot.

I am glad drs is in this series. Otherwise that would be the only thing talked about
