VVS Laxman has expressed his disappointment at Virat Kohli for mocking the Australians by holding his shoulders after David Warner's dismissal on the fourth day of the Ranchi Test. Laxman said had earlier criticized the Australians as well after Glenn Maxwell had imitated Kohli's shoulder injury.

“Very disappointed to see a celebration of Kohli after Warner’s wicket. He is the captain. Someone did a mistake that does not mean he has to do the same," Laxman had said.
