On his very first tour to Australia, Virat Kohli hogged the limelight for showing the middle finger to the Sydney crowd. Kohli reportedly stated that the crowd was using abusive language, and was targeting his mother and his sister. Kohli even said that the language from the Aussie crowd was the worst that he has ever heard.

“I agree cricketers don’t have to retaliate. what when the crowd says the worst things about your mother and sister. the worst I’ve heard,” tweeted Kohli after the incident.
