I don't regret anything that I have said: Kohli

Indian skipper Virat Kohli has insisted that he stands by the views he expressed after the Bengaluru Test, adding that he doesn't have any regret about what he said.
Kohli had been facing the wrath of many, especially the Australian media, for claiming that the visitors 'crossed the line' at least twice following the DRS controversy, involving Australian skipper Steve Smith, that took place during the Second Test which India won by 75 runs.
During the pre-match press conference on Wednesday, Kohli was specifically asked about the 'allegations' he had made during the Bengaluru Test.
When the journalist elaborated on it, Kohli still insisted on the exact nature of allegation. "But what is the allegation called? It has to be called something for me to be questioning something about someone to call it an allegation. If no charges were pressed against me how were they allegations?" Kohli asked.
When the concerned journalist again asked Kohli if he stands by his claim that Australia had 'crossed the line' on DRS at least twice, the Indian skipper said, "As I said we need to move on and focus on the game tomorrow. There are two sides of the coin. I could be speaking about it again and things are not going to move forward."
"I think about what I say. I don't regret anything that I have said but at the same time, it's very important not to be stupid and go on with the same thing on a daily basis because there's cricket to be played. There was a decent break in between," Kohli said.
"Everyone sitting here has their own interest and they choose to ask what they want to. But our focus remains on the game and we need to look forward."
