The Indian Test captain is one of the most expressive persons in the cricket field and is never shy of expressing his emotions in the field.
In India’s tour Down Under in 2014-15, Kohli was involved in an onfield brawl with speedster Mitchell Johnson. Not only once but the duo was involved in many such heated arguments throughout the summer. In one such incident, Johnson threw the ball back at Kohli which hit his leg after the Delhi batsman had punched it back to Johnson. Johnson immediately raised his arms for an apology but Kohli was clearly upset with the incident and hurled a flurry of words towards Johnson.

The incident certainly affected Kohli’s concentration and he almost gave away his wicket in the next 10 balls or so. He eventually gathered back his concentration and went on to smash Johnson all around the park.
