Even after calling Indian players along with their families, girlfriends since several months ahead with all facilities provided to them by BCCI it shows they have been totally spoiled by them. Kohli has become totally spoiled brat. High time to give him rest or remove from his captaincy. Too much of money has brought him arrogance, pride, tantrums & exaggerations to exceed his limits. No doubt India lost world cup against brave NZ who came to know all weaknesses of proud, arrogant Indian players.
