Watch: Virat Kohli gets angry at kids for throwing bats onto the field during NZ vs IND 2nd ODI

Even though India were excellent with the ball during the second ODI of the five-match series against New Zealand at the Hnry Stadium in Wellington, bundling out the home side for just 134 runs in 41 overs of the rain-curtailed encounter, Virat Kohli wasn’t happy with the kids as the video went viral on social media. 

The Shubman Gill-led side was equally phenomenal in the previous clash with the ball when they earned the five-wicket victory and went 1-0 ahead in the series. Gurnoor Brar’s superb spell of bowling with four wickets continued their impressive show.

Virat Kohli’s angry reaction to kids throwing bats on the field: Watch what happened

The incident occurred during the first innings of the contest when Kohli was fielding near the boundary rope. A few kids, who were eager to get an autograph from Kohli, tried to throw the small plastic bats at the veteran inside the ground, expecting the star player to give them autographs.

However, Kohli wasn’t satisfied with the entire situation. He looked at the kids in anger before picking up those bats and giving them a bag outside the boundary ropes. The right-handed batter also seemed to warn the kids with his hands not to throw the plastic bats.

Fresh from his half-century in the opening clash of the series at Eden Park in Auckland, Kohli walked into the 135-run chase in the second over of the innings. The right-handed batter opened his account with the second-ball boundary through the extra-cover region.

He earned the massive record in his name through the innings as he now has 1976 runs against the Blackcaps, breaking the record of 1971 runs by Ricky Ponting. But Kohli’s knock ended on seven runs as he was early on the drive and found the cover-point fielder.
