Taking a dig at Kohli, CA Chief Executive James Sutherland had said that he was not sure if the Indian captain knows how to spell “sorry".

“Look I am not sure he knows how to spell the word,” said Sutherland on a chat with an Australian radio station.

Sutherland had called truce with the BCCI following the DRS controversy — where Australia captain Steve Smith sought dressing room help to decide whether to take a review or not during the second Test in Bengaluru.
