Virat Kohli is one of the most talented cricketers in India, whose 4s and 6s often leave his fans screaming at the top of their lungs. Virat, being Virat, always proved how much he gives it all to the game, and obviously, his contribution to Indian cricket is unmatchable. Virat often found himself in the middle of controversy, and while he has fans worldwide, he also had to face booing when the time was not right for him. The same incident happened again, and this time, not only booing, but he also had to face abuse during day 2 of his fourth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 against Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
Virat Kohli gets abused by the Australian crowd after his shoulder-barge with Sam Konstas
It all began with Virat Kohli’s shoulder-barge moment with 19-year-old Australian debutant, Sam Konstas at the Melbourne Cricket Ground during day 1 of the fourth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. For the unversed, it was during the 10th over when the Australian cricketers were exchanging pitches, and an accidental shoulder-bump moment happened between Kohli and Konstas, leading the duo to engage in heated words. Talking about the same, Konstas stated that emotion got both of them, and he didn’t realise this, and such things happen in cricket. Konstas can be heard saying:
“I think the emotions got to both of us. I didn’t quite realise as I was doing my gloves. But, it happens in cricket.”
