ICC favors Virat Kohli in usage of walkie-talkie during match

The International Cricket Council cleared allegations over Virat Kohli. After a very impressive victory over Kiwis, controversies mounted up saying Indian Team Captain Virat Kohli violates the code of conduct by ICC by using a walkie-talkie during the match.   

The International Cricket Council has given a clean chit to Indian Cricket Captain Virat Kohli who was spotted using a walkie-talkie, while he is sitting in the dug-out during Indian batting going on. TV footage showed him talking on the walkie talkie at the Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium. The ICC in its response has said that Kohli had earlier sought permission to use the walkie-talkie. In reply, ICC official said that Kohli had sought permission from Venue ACU manager before using it.

There were some media reports that suggested Kohli had violated ICC regulations by using a communication device during a match. But Kohli had sought the ICC’s Anti Corruption Security Unit’s permission to use a walkie-talkie. Though the use of mobile phones is banned in the dressing room, players and support staff have access to walkie-talkies under ICC rules.

 In Ashish Nehra’s last international cricket, India had outplayed New Zealand by 53 runs.  This was India’s first win against the Kiwis in six T20 outings. New Zealand innings ended at 149 for eight.
