Speaking to Fox Sports on the Allan Border Medal red carpet, Smith believes Kohli's celebration was not necessary. Pumped up: Virat Kohli celebrates the wicket of Steve Smith at Adelaide Oval.

"It's fine to have a little bit of banter when you're out in the field, but when someone is out I don't think that's really on."

The 26-year-old fell short of blaming Channel Nine for his wicket, saying his dismissal was due to a bad shot. "It [the commentary] was on at the time, but for me it was just a bad shot," Smith said. "I tried to chip one over the top for two rather than trying to hit him for four or six. "It was my fault and I got to do better next time." It's not the first time Kohli has been caught getting under the skin of Australia this summer, telling all-rounder James Faulkner "I've smashed you enough in my life, just go and bowl" in an exchange between the pair during the third one-day international in Melbourne.

In response to the Faulkner sledge, Kohli said in a Facebook Q&A last week that teams are looking for an edge in a competitive environment. "It's happening on a regular basis nowadays. Cricket has become really, really competitive and people will try and disrupt you in any way possible." Kohli said. "The opposition has every right to use that as long as it doesn't cross the line. And you have every right to reply as long as it doesn't cross the line. "I think there have been a lot of smart comments over the years and mine turned out to be a perfectly timed one. I didn't intend to do that, I just said what came to mind, which was actually not far from the truth." Australia will look to rectify Tuesday's 37-run loss when the two sides battle in Friday's second Twenty20 at the MCG.
