BCCI issues warning to Team India cricketers over Virat Kohli’s Instagram story

The Board of Control of Cricket in India (BCCI) is not happy with an act of star batsman Virat Kohli who took to Instagram and posted a story about passing the yo-yo test successfully at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bangalore.

“The happiness of finishing the yo-yo test between the dreaded cones. 17.2 done,” Kohli wrote along with a photo of himself.

Kohli was found to be way above the mark as the BCCI-mandated fitness parameter is 16.5 in the yo-yo test.

Earlier, the cricketers were asked by BCCI not to reveal their test scores from the yo-yo test. However, some of the cricketers did not oblige to the rule in place.

As per reports, former captain Kohli and the entire team has got a ‘verbal’ warning over this incident.

“Players have been informed verbally to avoid posting any confidential matter on social media platforms. They can post pictures while training but posting a score leads to breach of contract clause,” said a BCCI official.

Though Kohli was rested during the Ireland tour, he has been maintaining his fitness level as he prepares to join the squad ahead of the all-important Asia Cup.
