Virat Kohli has been reprimanded by the Indian Premier League authorities following his reaction to his dismissal during Royal Challengers Bangalore's game against Sunrisers Hyderabad in Chennai on Wednesday.

Kohli knocked over a chair with his bat in frustration after his innings of 33 from 29 balls during RCB's six-run victory. He had top-edged Jason Holder to Vijay Shankar in the deep.
