In Australia, not just the cricketers, the fans also give the opposition team players a hard time in the field with their constant sledging. Many famous cricketers were at the receiving end of this like Kevin Pietersen. Kohli was one such victim.

Virat Kohli has always been a temperamental and an animated person. This gets the better of him when he is holding a bat in his hand, but not while fielding.

The angered young man showed his middle finger to the Sydney crowd that provoked him. Later Virat Kohli confirmed that the Sydney crowd spoke ill of his mother and sister and that was the reason for him getting animated.

A fire inside Virat Kohli started to burn after this incident, as this tour turned out to be a turning point in his Test career. He was handed a 50% fine of his match fee for his actions.
