Nurul Hasan accuses Virat of cheating

How did Virat cheat?

During the fielding, Virat Kohli pretended that he was catching Arshdeep Singh’s throw from deep and throwing it at the non-striker’s end, when he could not catch the ball. Neither umpire Marais Erasmus nor Chris Brown saw it. Even the batsmen could not see it.
