Indian National Cricket Team’s batsman Virat Kohli was once again the center of attraction in the ongoing fourth Test against the Australian National Cricket Team. The match between the teams, which is also a Boxing Day Test, is played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne.
Virat Kohli has been the live wire in the field as he has made sure to make life difficult for the Australian batsmen, especially with a pitch that offers nothing. The premier batsman was involved in many fierce battles with the opposition batsmen and it was evident from the start.

Virat Kohli first had a heated moment with Australian National Cricket Team opener Sam Konstas. The duo came face to face and shared some harsh words. Not only this, but the Indian National Cricket Team’s knock has also shouldered him and grabbed the headlines.
After that too, Virat Kohli makes sure to keep the intensity high and gives it to the Australian batsmen. The Indian National Cricket Team’s top player did not go down well with the fans at the Melbourne Cricket Ground as they cheered for the Home Teams.
This was evident when Virat Kohli gave his 100% to stop the boundary and the crowd did not applaud the effort. In the 4th over of the 59th over, Akash Deep delivered one behind a length in the channel to Steve Smith.
Steve Smith pushed it and took it outside second slip. Virat Kohli at the crease sprinted brilliantly and slid near the fence to save the run to his side. But that saw fans boo him for his effort and save the boundary for his side.
