UPDATE: THE Indian cricket team's testy relationship with their own country's media representatives is showing no signs of thawing.
Offspinner Ravi Ashwin on Thursday washed his hands of the Virat Kohli affair, saying he didn't know anything about it and it wasn't his role to weigh into the topic.
Kohli hurled abuse at Hindustan Times reporter Jasvinder Sidhu on Tuesday for writing a story about his private life.

Ashwin said he didn't know anything about it, although he was happy to dish out some advice to the Indian media at the WACA ahead of Friday's World Cup Pool B clash between India and West Indies.
"Media are here to support us. It's very heartening to see the media turn up in huge numbers and try to support us," Ashin said.
"Media has got a very responsible (role) of taking cricket back home in a very responsible fashion, taking cricket to the public in the way it needs to be taken.
"There are times when I'm not happy with that. But there are other times where you support the players and it's very important to take the game forward.
"I do not know what has happened. It's definitely not in my jurisdiction.

"I'm very honest about it. I do not know what's happened."
Late on Thursday the BCCI said it had told Kohli to "maintain the dignity of the Indian team at all times."
"The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has taken note of the incident that occurred at Perth a couple of days ago," said BCCI secretary Anurag Thakur.
"The BCCI has been in touch with the Indian team management on this issue, and has advised that this kind of incident should not be repeated.
"The BCCI respects the role played by the media in covering and popularizing the game of cricket, and acknowledges the support of the media, in its mission to administer and promote the game of cricket in India.
"The player in question has been told to maintain the dignity of the Indian team at all times, and avoid any such behaviour in the future."
Sidhu has complained to cricket's governing body, the ICC, which is staging the 2015 World Cup tournament in Australia and New Zealand.
"How can he abuse and intimidate someone?," Sidhu said.
The Hindustan Times has also filed a complaint to the ICC, the cricinfo website reports.
An ICC spokesman did not respond to a request via email to confirm the complaints or the possible sanctions Kohli might face.
It's understood the fact that incident happened at a training session at Murdoch Oval on Tuesday, rather than at an official game or ICC media conference, means there's little the ICC can do to sanction the player for bringing the sport into disrepute.

India's media manager Dr R N Baba said on Wednesday: "There was a misunderstanding and no abusive language was used."
Sidhu had a different version of events.
"The abuses kept coming till he disappeared into the dressing room," Sidhu said.
India team director Ravi Shastri has reportedly told Kohli his behaviour was "unbecoming".
India's touring media is known to be frustrated with its lack of media opportunities.
The India side can sometimes go for four or five days without doing any media events, only returning to face any scrutiny at official pre-match and post-match news conferences.
