India captain Virat Kohli has all but accused Australia counterpart Steve Smith of systematic cheating following a tense second Test in Bangalore. Smith looked to the changeroom for guidance on whether to review his verdict, but was halted from doing so and sent on his way by umpire Nigel Llong. Smith, speaking prior to Kohli, called it "a bit of a brain fade on my part". Both umpires took Kohli aside after the incident, giving him yet another talking to during what has been an incredibly spiteful Test. Smith and Kohli were involved in a handful of heated confrontations during the game.
