Indian Test captain Virat Kohli on Friday termed the ball tampering allegations against him as a ploy to "shift focus from the series" as "ICC would have spoken to him" had there been any iota of truth in the matter. "You doing what du Plessis was doing?" "If I was doing something ICC would have spoken to me," he finished it off then and there. Incidentally, Faf du Plessis has appealed against a 100 percent fine on match fee. Du Plessis played his finest Test knock as he scored a hundred amidst boos from the crowd on the first day of the Day/Night Test at Adelaide.
