The Hindustan Times reporter, who was abused by Kohli, has decided not to take the matter any further.

"In the interest of India's World Cup campaign, we do not wish to take this matter any further. Anurag Thakur has been very accommodating and it is a refreshing change from the cricket administrators in the recent past," HT's Sports Editor Sukhwant Basra said.

The incident raised serious questions over Kohli's conduct once again. He suddenly lost his cool after the training session on Tuesday as he hurled abuses at the journalist ahead of the side's group league game against West Indies at the WACA on Friday.

Scribe row: BCCI cracks whip on Virat Kohli

Once he was done with his training and was returning to the dressing room, Kohli saw a scribe of a national daily in front of him. To the horror of that journalist, Indian batting's mainstay started using filthiest of language and it went on for some time before he stormed off and some of his team members looked amazed as to what exactly had happened.

The particular journalist also seemed clueless but once Kohli cooled down, he told someone about an article that had appeared about him and his girlfriend Anushka Sharma in a national daily and he thought that it was that particular journalist, who had written the story.

When he was told that he had mistaken this particular reporter as someone else, Kohli called one of the journalists and through him apologised for the incident.
