Mohali: Indian Test skipper Virat Kohli has shrugged allegations of ball tampering by a British tabloid during the first Test at Rajkot.According to the ICC rule book, if Kohli video had been reported by the match referee within five days of the Rajkot Test ending, ICC could have investigated the matter.
Ahead of the third Test against England here tomorrow, the Indian skipper said, at a pre-match press conference "This (ball-tampering allegations) is just to take focus away from series; to me newspaper article doesn't matter over ICC's decision.I don't read newspapers, was told 5 days later that such things happened, I just laughed it off."
