Virat Kohli is facing a storm of criticism following a series of events that have sparked outrage during the ongoing fourth match between India and Australia. During the opening day of the Boxing Day Test, Kohli was involved in an ugly confrontation with Australian player Sam Konstas, and since then, things have only escalated.
A recent video has gone viral on social media, showing Australian fans chanting, "Kohli is a wild dog."
The offensive chant comes after a series of incidents involving the Indian batsman. Whether he’s fielding, batting, or even walking back to the pavilion, the local crowd has not stopped booing Kohli.
Kohli has faced intense criticism not only from the crowd but also from Australian media and fans. His on-field behaviour, combined with recent controversies, has made him a target for this kind of abuse.
The Drama With Sam Konstas
The trouble began on the opening day of the Test match when Kohli collided with debutant Sam Konstas. This led to a heated exchange between the two players, adding fuel to the fire of Kohli’s ongoing struggles in Australia.
This was not the first time Kohli found himself at the center of controversy. Earlier in the series, Kohli had a clash with Australian journalists who attempted to take photographs of his children, further contributing to his tense relationship with the Australian public.
Kohli Responds To A Fan
On the second day, after being dismissed for 36, Kohli’s frustration reached a boiling point. As he was heading back to the dressing room, a fan shouted an offensive remark at him, which caused Kohli to turn back and confront the crowd.
As he walked back to the pavilion, Kohli found himself in another uncomfortable situation with the crowd, continuing his unlucky streak during this series.
