Controversies and India’s top batsman, Virat Kohli, have now become synonymous, particularly after he got into a physical altercation with rookie Sam Konstas on the opening day of the fourth Test match. It was clear that he would be the target of Australian fans’ ire at MCG. The incident happened on the second day, when he was already being closely watched and the Australian supporters attempted to agitate him.

The Australian supporters booed him loudly when he entered the batting order after the removal of KL Rahul. But he always likes it when the opponent’s supporters make fun of him because it makes him a better player.

Kohli got into a furious dispute.

He capitalized on the circumstance and seemed to be in fine form before being removed after a gutsy knock of 36 runs off 86 balls. Following his dismissal by Scott Boland, Kohli’s relationship with Australian supporters remained tense.

After leaving, Kohli was dejected and headed into the pavilion, but the irate Australian supporters jeered and taunted him once again. The famous Indian batsman first disregarded their remarks, but when they went too far, he turned around and was seen mouthing at them, forcing the security guards to step in.

During this trip, Kohli had his finest innings.

Despite hitting a game-winning hundred in the first game of the series, India’s top batsman did so on a pitch that turned batter-friendly.

However, the Rohit Sharma-led team struggled against a strong Australian bowling lineup in Melbourne and had a collapse in their top-order batting. Kohli batted calmly at first and did leave the outside deliveries off.

Although he was able to recover from the poor deliveries as well, Kohli was removed after reaching 36 runs after mistiming one shot in Scott Boland’s over, which resulted in an easy catch by Alex Carey.
