Kohli reacted to the situation hilariously as he turned back to non-striker's end and dragged his bat inside the crease while squatting. The 30-year-old then stood up and went further inside the crease as Narine moved back to his bowling mark.
Kings XI Punjab skipper Ravichandran Ashwin's decision to mankad Rajasthan Royals batsman Jos Buttler sparked controversy earlier this season.
Meanwhile, Kohli slammed the fifth ton of his IPL career as he hit 100 off 58 balls against KKR. In the process, Kohli claimed the second spot on the list of century makers in the tournament.
Currently, Gayle is currently at the top of the list of six hundreds. Australia's David Warner and Shane Watson have four hundreds each.

The Indian run-machine scored his first fifty off just 40 balls. He brought his second fifty in just 17 balls to complete the ton.
