Different people have different views on this catch and the experts called it a catch but the third umpire's doubt went in into the favour of the batsman. Third umpire's decision didn't go in the favour of Virat Kohli's team so it turned Kohli's mood. Kohli immediately went to ask the umpires what was it.

Moreover, umpires told Kohli that it was a miss from Tim Southee as the bowl came in the touch of ground and that's why it is not called out. Well, maybe it was a miss but how Hales got out through AB De Villiers is really amazing.
