#3 Kohli booed, Ponting doesn't like it

Australia v India - 1st Test: Day 3

The spotlight has well and truly been on Virat Kohli on the Australian tour; from the video of him smacking the Indian bowlers around in nets (which you should watch with the volume up) going viral, to his over-the-top wicket celebrations, the spectrum has been quite diverse.

He turned into a headline yet again, after he was booed by a small section of the Australian crowd before coming on to bat on Day 3.

Speaking to cricket.com.au, former Australia skipper Ricky Ponting said that he doesn't "like seeing it at all”.

“It didn’t worry me as a player when it happened in England a couple times. You’ve almost got to accept it as an acknowledgement for what you’ve done in the game. But I’d rather not see that happen at all.”

“It’ll be water off a duck’s back him, I’m sure. He’s probably had worse things happen to him on a cricket field, I would have thought, than getting booed by a couple of spectators as he walks on.”

“If anything, it might have steeled him a little bit more. He was hardly playing a shot (earlier) and he looked like he wanted to really ground the Aussies into the deck.”
