    "editor1": "<p><strong>Christchurch, March 2: <\/strong>India skipper Virat Kohli had a fiery exchange with a journalist who asked him to tone down his aggression following team&#39;s crushing defeat in the second and final Test against New Zealand at the Hagley Oval.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>India lost the Christchurch Test by seven wickets on Monday, thus suffering from their first-ever whitewash under Kohli and in the post-match presser, the Indian skipper was asked about his on-field antics during the match which didn&#39;t go down too well with the 31-year-old cricketer.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>On Day Two of the Test match, Kohli was seen giving angry send-offs to Kiwi batters and animatedly celebrating the fall of wickets during the first two sessions. On one particular instance, Kohli was even seen using an expletive towards the crowd.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Speaking to reporters after culmination of the Test, one of the journalists asked Kohli: &quot;Virat, what&#39;s your reaction to your behaviour on the field, swearing at (Kane) Williamson when he got out, swearing at the crowd. As an Indian captain, don&#39;t you think you should set a better example on the field?&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Indian skipper got riled up with the question and told the reporter: &quot;I am asking you the answer.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;You need to find out exactly what happened and then come up with a better question, I have spoken with the match referee, you cannot come here with half knowledge. Thank you.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>This was not the first time that Kohli lost his cool in press conferences after India defeats.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>After the first Test as well where India lost by 10 wickets in Wellington, Kohli -- while replying about India&#39;s batting failures -- had said that there are a lot of people who want to get into their head knowing they are a side &quot;who can beat anyone anywhere&quot; by making &quot;too much out of&quot; loss at the Basin Reserve.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In 2018, he had lashed out at a journalist after the 1-4 Test series defeat in England.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Kohli had a tough New Zealand tour as he could manage to score just 50 runs in the four Test innings he played against the Black Caps.<\/p>\r\n",
