...after he has dropped a catch under Kohli's captaincy?

Answer: No.

Why?: Because the captain demands accountability at all times ans sets the example.

JHO over to you.

Btw, this would not happen under Viv Richards also.

No fieldsman would dare smile after dropping a catch under Viv.

But the look on JHO's face when a particular fieldsman dropped a few catches and was smiling even laughing was priceless.

No wonder Gayle admonished JHO before the WC and I am paraphrasing here, to demand more respect from his charges.

JHO is "too full of the milk of human kindness."

Leaders like him often fail.

Is it the incident where Viv was signalling to the fieldsman to go back further until the fieldsman reached the boundary and there was nowhere else to go but the pavilion?

big grin

Hahahaha!! Took this from Narper's thread but it reinforces my point.

Bhuvneshwar to Ross Taylor, 2 runs, yorker length delivery outside off, squeezed towards extra-cover where Chahal makes another fumble - gifts NZ another run

He gets a heap of blame from Kohli and banishes him towards fine leg

Viv style big grin

Only difference....Viv would have sent him off...especially as he has bowled out his 10 overs for plenty big grin

Smoking Joe didn't joke around with his cricket.
