Kohli was booed by fans at the Wankhede Stadium after a controversial runout incident during RCB's match against the Mumbai Indians here last night.
Kohli was jeered several times after he appealed for a runout involving Mumbai Indians batsman Ambati Rayudu, who was dismissed in a bizarre manner.
Rayudu seemed to have grounded his bat before it went in the air when he collided with bowler Vinay Kumar. It was at this time that a direct hit from Kohli hit the stumps.
The 24-year-old continued to face the crowd's ire when he came onto bat and even during the post-match presentation.
"As far as the crowd is concerned, it has happened to a few players in the past as well. I don't know why they get so worked up during IPL. IPL is not the end of the world. And they forget that the players they are booing for also play for their country," a livid Kohli said after the match.
