Watch: Virat Kohli confronts spectator after dismissal at MCG, video goes viral

The ongoing Test match between Australia and India in Melbourne has been quite an eventful one, especially for star India batter Virat Kohli. Notably, Kohli has been slapped with a 20% fine and one demerit point following the shoulder-bump instance involving 19-year-old Sam Konstas on the first day.

Kohli was also involved in an unfortunate miscommunication with Yashasvi Jaiswal, which cost the latter his wicket on second day as he fell for 82. Kohli himself departed for 36 off 86 soon afterwards as the Indian team found itself in trouble.

Another incident putting Kohli in the spotlight emerged after Kohli was dismissed. He was booed on his entry and the same occurred when he walking back to the pavilion. A visibly upset Kohli tried to confront the spectators mocking and booing as he walked back. He stared towards the spectators before the guards consoled him. The clip of the moment has gone viral across all social media.

Speaking of the moment which cost Yashasvi Jaiswal his wicket on day, former India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar felt that Kohli was partly responsible the dismissal, stating that it is a "cardinal sin" to not look towards your batting partner whilst taking a run. 

“What happened here? Yashasvi Jaiswal called for the single, but Virat Kohli is looking back [at the ball and]. It is a cardinal sin [to not be looking at running partner]. He [Kohli] is making his case, but Jaiswal says, ‘it was my call’,” Manjrekar said commenting on Star Sports.

“It was the last ball of the over, I just wonder if it had anything to do with not running the single. He wasn’t keen to run the single for some reason. He [Virat] has listened to the call and not responded to it and is instead looking behind. It is the basics of running between the wickets. It is a telling moment in the game,” Manjrekar added.
