Former India cricketer Aakash Chopra has shared his thoughts on the controversial DRS incident involving Virat Kohli during the second ODI against the Sri Lanka National Cricket Team. Chopra believes that Kohli was aware he hadn't hit the ball despite Ultra-Edge indicating otherwise.

During the match, Kohli was given out LBW after missing a flick against an Akila Dananjaya off-spinner in the 15th over. Kohli immediately reviewed the decision, and while there appeared to be no contact between the bat and the ball, Ultra-Edge detected a spike, leading the third umpire to overturn the on-field decision.

"Kohli's dismissal was very interesting," Chopra said in his latest YouTube video. "The ball hit his back-pad and he reviewed immediately. But he also knew the ball hasn't hit the bat. But Ultra-Edge said it had! It became a big issue because everyone felt it could have been Akila Dananjaya's wicket." Chopra Added 

The incident caused a stir, with Kohli smiling at the split screen, while the Sri Lankan team reacted with frustration. Kusal Mendis threw his helmet in disappointment, and captain Charith Asalanka approached umpire Raveendra Wimalasiri.

In addition to discussing Kohli's dismissal, Chopra praised India skipper Rohit Sharma for his performance.

"Rohit has been batting well, hitting sixes while standing still. He has hit 302 sixes as an opener which is only behind Chris Gayle in ODIs. Sometimes he even shows that footwork is overrated... He's even doing it against spin," Chopra explained.

"He has hit two half-centuries in consecutive matches so he's doing his job and scoring quickly so others can take their time."
