Virat Kohli is facing backlash over his furious outburst over the stump mic during the 3rd Test vs South Africa and Gautam Gambhir is the latest one to blast the Indian Test skipper.

In conversation with Star Sports, the former India skipper called Kohli's reaction immature. He said that this is not what you expect from an international captain as technology isn't in your hand. 'No matter what you say, stuff like he plays with his heart on his sleeve, this reaction was an exaggerated one and you can't be a role model in this manner. No budding cricketers would want to see this kind of a reaction, especially from the Indian captain,' added Gambhir.

Few of the Indian players along with Kohli expressed their disappointment about the South Africa broadcaster, SuperSport, after Dean Elgar survived a DRS following a review by the visitors.
