  • India walked despite not getting an edge behind off Mohammad Amir.

    India captain Virat Kohli was left fuming in the dressing room after he walked off the field after believing to have edged Mohammad Amir behind during the clash against Pakistan in Manchester on Sunday.

    India batted first and amid rain interruptions, scored 336-5 with Rohit Sharma smashing 140 and skipper Kohli cracking 77 off 65 balls.

    But it could have been more for Kohli as he went after the bowlers in the death overs. With less than three overs to go, Kohli went after Pakistan’s best bowler – Amir – and tried to hook the left-arm pacer.

    Kohli walked off thinking he had got a nick behind even as umpire Marais Erasmus was not convinced.

    Replays suggested Kohli did not hit the ball with Ultra Edge showing no signs of a nick.

    Kohli was clearly unhappy as he saw the replays in the dressing room. He then spent a long time swing his bat around to find signs of any creak in the handle that could have made the sound.

    After Kohli, MS Dhoni took the bat and inspected it for any lose joints.
