5 controversies surrounding Virat Kohli

#3 Abusing a journalist

Kohli later apologised for the incident

This was once again a matter that had love for its core. It seems as though Virat Kohi is very protective of his love – like everyone is supposed to be – and can’t take it when someone makes up something derogatory about her

During a practice session at Perth in 2015, Virat Kohli shouted abuse at a Hindustan Times journalist for his article on Anushka Sharma. Not only did he yell at the reporter, but also used expletives to display his displeasure.

As it turned out, the journalist Kohli abused didn’t even write anything like that and was just a victim of Kohli’s poor judgement. The BCCI, however, initially denied that the player had abused someone, but then went on to warn him over his antics without actually punishing him for it.

In the end, Kohli held out the olive branch at the journalist by apologising to him for his unruly behaviour.
