Virat Kohli lost his cool after the training session here on Tuesday, and was seen hurling abuses at a journalist.

While returning to the dressing room after training, Kohli started abusing the Indian journalist who was present at the nets. The tirade went on for a while before he stormed off, with even some of the Indian team members looked on amazed.

Kohli later told someone that he thought it was this scribe who had written an article about him and his girlfriend Anushka Sharma that had appeared in a national daily.

When Kohli was told that he had mistaken this particular reporter for someone else, Kohli summoned another journalists and apologised through him.

Team Director Ravi Shastri has reportedly spoken to Kohli and advised him to keep his cool.
