The Canberra ODI saw the second part of the now famous Virat Kohli-James Faulkner good humoured banter bordering a sledge with the Indian superstar trying to upset the Australian all-rounder during another of his superlative innings. During the Melbourne match, when Faulkner tried to instigate Kohli, the Indian batsman's classic retort was "I have smashed you enough in my life. Go and bowl." In Canberra, Kohli started from where he left at MCG belting the left-armer for 29 runs off 16 deliveries that included four boundaries. But according to Australian newspaper 'Perth Now', when Faulkner missed a chance to run Kohli out, the Indian vice-captain did not miss an opportunity to ask the Aussie as to why was he "fast asleep". Two days back, Kohli while interacting with fans on Indian team's facebook page said, "The opposition has every right to use that as long as it doesn't cross the line. "And you have every right to reply as long as it doesn't cross the line again.
