5 Instances when Australians sledged Virat Kohli
Since breaking into the national side, Kohli has dominated the best bowlers in the business quite effortlessly.
3. Virat Kohli and Brad Haddin
In a Boxing Day Test match back in 2014, Brad Haddin tried to sledge Indian skipper Virat Kohli during the second innings of the game. The instance happened during the fifth over when the Delhite nearly survived a close run-out in Mitchell Johnson’s over. Actually, Kohli played a stroke off Johnson towards mid-off and ran for a single. But, Murali Vijay, who was at the non-striker’s end didn’t go for the same.
In the meantime, Warner athletically picked the ball but ended up throwing it quite far away from the reach of wicketkeeper Brad Haddin due to which Kohli managed to survive. After that, Haddin said, “It’s all about you. It’s all about you.” The Aussie gloveman was well aware of the fact that if his side gets the wicket of Indian skipper then they can easily win the game.
Later on, Shane Watson also joined his teammate to tease Kohli. In the end, the game ended on a draw and Kohli scored a match-saving fifty for Team India in that innings on the final day of the game.
