Australian media has called Virat Kohli a joker. On Friday, Virat Kohli was shown as a joker on the back page of The West Australian newspaper. At the same time, the punishment given by ICC was also said to be less. Indian cricketers have criticized Australian media’s comments about King Kohli.
Kohli had a heated clash with Australian teenager Sam Constas on Boxing Day. On Thursday, the first day of the fourth Test being played in Melbourne, after the 10th over, Virat Kohli hit debuting Australian batsman Sam Constas on the shoulder. ICC, on the recommendation of match referee Andy Pycroft, fined Kohli 20% of his match fee and also gave him one de-merit point.
Australian newspapers have highlighted the incident between Virat and Constas. The West Australian newspaper featured Kohli with a clown nose on its back page with the headline ‘Joker Kohli’. At the same time, many Australian newspapers believed that the punishment given to Virat by ICC is less. Former captain Ricky Ponting, who is commenting on Channel 7, has also admitted that the punishment given to Kohli is less. He said that giving exemption to Kohli could have an impact in the future. I don’t think this is a harsh punishment for a legend like Kohli.
Virat Kohli pushed Australian batsman Sam Constas.
Former Indian cricketer unhappy with Australian media Former Indian cricketers have expressed anger over calling Virat a joker in the Australian media and termed it wrong to target him. He believes that Kohli’s behavior cannot be called right, but it is not right for the Australian media to target Virat in this way.
Irfan Pathan said calling Kohli a joker is not acceptable Former cricketer Irfan Pathan, who was commenting for Star Sports, said that Virat’s behavior was not right, but the Australian media is targeting him. It is not right to call a legendary cricketer like Virat a joker. This cannot be accepted. Earlier, Kohli’s conversation with a journalist at the airport was also blown out of proportion.
There was an argument between Sam Constas and Virat after the 10th over. The umpire had to come and calm the matter.
Gavaskar said that ICC has given maximum punishment to Kohli. Whereas former cricketer Sunil Gavaskar said that you use a legendary player like Kohli to promote cricket in your country, then you call the same cricketer a joker. Virat’s behavior with Constas in the field was not right.
Australian media has always served as the sporting staff of the Australian team. An Australian channel showing the BGT series showed Kohli with Australian captain Pat Cummins, even though Kohli is not the captain. Indian captain Rohit Sharma should have been shown there. On one hand you use Kohli’s brand and on the other hand you also call him a villain. This is not correct.
Gavaskar also termed ICC’s lesser punishment as wrong. He said that four such incidents have happened this year. Josh Hazlewood was fined 15 percent of his match fee for such an incident. Jasprit Bumrah was also fined 15 percent. Along with 20 percent fine, one demerit point has also been given to Virat Kohli. This is the maximum punishment according to ICC rules. In such a situation, it is not correct to say that ICC has adopted a soft attitude towards Kohli.
