India captain Virat Kohli has been fined for his "aggressive" approach to an umpire during their 11-run win over Afghanistan in the Cricket World Cup 2019, reports BBC Sport.

Kohli has been docked 25 per cent of his match fee and given one demerit point for breaching level one of the ICC code of conduct, for "excessive appealing".

The 30-year-old admitted the charge after advancing towards umpire Aleem Dar when appealing an lbw decision.

Mohammed Shami's hat-trick in the final over eventually saw India win the game.
