"I now feel this kind of behaviour does not befit Virat Kohli. He is a senior player now. I agree that there were one or two debatable decisions in Australia this time but they weren't from the Australian umpires. They were from the neutral umpires," Karim replied.
"If there is any doubt about technology as well, that should be discussed with the ICC or the broadcasters and producers. Behaving like that with the crowd and having a conversation like that with Sam Konstas is not right. I feel things are going too far," he reckoned.
