Some sledging incidents will reside in the minds of cricket supporters forever. Here's a look at 10 of them.
5. Virat Kohli vs Steven Smith, 2014-15 Border-Gavaskar Trophy
Virat Kohli and Steven Smith share a cordial relationship with each other both on and off-field nowadays. However, this wasn’t the case a few years back. Both batting maestros were known for being competitors against each other not just with their bats but also with banters and sledging.
In the 2014-15 Border-Gavaskar Trophy, both players got involved in several on-field spats. However, one that got the attention of cricket fans happened in the opening Test in Adelaide. On Day four, when Smith was out in the middle, Rohit Sharma bowled an over and on one of the deliveries, the India stalwart appealed to the umpire for an LBW.
The umpire denied Rohit’s request but Smith displayed his unhappiness on the appeal with a gesture which invited an angry reaction from Sharma. Witnessing the incident, Kohli also jumped into the matter and asked Smith saying, “stay in your limits”.
