Not been doing a great job of fulfilling his villain role lately. A part I thought he previously enjoyed and relished off. Don’t worry Kohli. I still hate you ;)

No fan of Kohli, the man, massive respect for his batting. Thankfully one of the opponents who've been in the same boat as Smith and Warner have stood up and supported them. The world's players know full well CA made examples of Smith and Warner, rather than allowing the ICC to punish them the same way du Plessis and Chandimal were. Kohli also knows he'd have been done too if the 5 day ICC rule on investigations hadn't lapsed on his tampering. Good on him for showing some empathy.

Full credit to Kohli, but you do wonder if he would have offered the same gesture if the Aussies needed 30 off 40 balls with 7 wickets in hand and Smith 100+ not out

The Aussies that play with Kohli in the IPL appear to be very positive about Kohli. The guy is ultra competitive (is Captaining the Indian cricket team the toughest gig in sport?) But still sporting...deserves lots of respect.
