Former Australia all-rounder, Brad Hodge, on Thursday, apologised to India skipper Virat Kohli for his comments that Kohli pulled out of the Dharamsala Test to save his IPL campaign. Taking it to Twitter, Hodge said the comments “were intended to be light-hearted comments” with the utmost respect to the IPL. The move comes after his comments threatened to overshadow his coaching endeavours with Gujarat Lions in the IPL starting next week.
