"Virat Kohli Wanted Conflict And Confrontation": Ex-RCB Teammate Blasts India Stalwart

Virat Kohli's tour of Australia did not go as per plan. While it started off brilliantly with a superb century at Perth, it ended on a sour note, full of controversy and doubts surrounding his form. In the fourth Test in Melbourne, Kohli got embroiled in a shoulder clash with Australia's teenage debutant Sam Konstas, leading him to be fined 20 per cent of his match fees. Kohli also teased the Sydney crowd during the fifth Test with a 'sandpaper' reference. Speaking on these issues, former Australia cricketer Simon Katich - once the head coach of Kohli at Indian Premier League franchise (IPL) Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) - stated that Kohli had tarnished his reputation.

Recently, India lost the Border-Gavaskar Trophy for the first time in a decade, and Tiwary, who has had a dressing room altercation with Gambhir during their playing days in the IPL, took note of these reversals since his appointment as the coach.

Anushka Sharma Trolled After Virat Kohli's Failure. Ex-Star Says, "Darker The Night..."

Indian cricket team stars often have to pay a heavy price for their popularity. Just like they are adored by fans after a good performance, a bad show often sees them getting trolled. What's worse is that the attack is not limited to just the player as often his or her family members also get dragged in between. The same happened after Virat Kohli had a forgettable Tour of Australia. In the 2024-25 Border Gavaskar Trophy, Virat Kohli scored 190 runs in nine innings at an average of 23.75. His faltering show in the top order was seen by many experts as a reason behind India's 1-3 loss.

"He Will Be The Next Man": Sunil Gavaskar Picks 'Golden Goose' As India Captain After Rohit Sharma

Who will be the next India captain? After the Border Gavaskar Trophy, which India lost 1-3, that is the biggest question in Indian cricket corridors.
