Virat Kohli, indicating to the crowd that Australia are indeed, four wickets down.
Virat Kohli
Annoyed by the crowd taunts, young India cricketer Virat Kohli on Tuesday showed his middle finger to a section of the crowd at the Sydney Cricket Ground during the second Test and has been fined 50% of his match fees,Australia once again proves that they are still an uncivilized bunch of apes in suits Kohli fined. OK! What about the crowd of Aussie goons who used abusive language on the International cricketer? Will Aussies comment?
Kohli however Justified his act in his twitter account. He said
i agree cricketers dont have to retaliate. what when the crowd says the worst things about your mother and sister. the worst ive heard
What he did was but natural - but they won't change if only he can abuse them in ur mind! Youth looks up to him. Mind over Matter!,
ok just Imagine What if Virat Kohli was in the Mahabharata? the answer is, Dronacharya would have asked for his middle finger. at one it looke like Kohli was only appealing that Clarke is out. Poor guy is dyslexic, raised his middle finger instead of index,
with that Kohli's middle finger act is probably the most talked on field performance of Indian cricket team down under
There is no doubt that he is an exceptionally talented batsman, Virat. In my humble opinion, is the most talented young batsman in world cricket, let alone India.
However, talent alone does not make a man. Class, humility, and respect make a man – and time and again, Kohli proven himself to be an insolent child.
The ‘inexperience’ argument no longer washes with any of us. You are 23 years old, and have been playing international cricket for four years. How long will you require to ‘learn’ what is painfully obvious to the vast majority of your peers?
Instead of offering an apology, sermonizing the masses and playing the victim with your sanctimonious tweets only serves to further highlight your hypocrisy, increasing our head-scratching to levels not seen since Sehwag woke up one day and wondered where his hair had disappeared to.
Sadly, it is a reality of the game that whilst your team is plumbing the depths of cricketing lows, you will not always be deified. People will not always greet you on the boundary with garlands of roses, and they might not even reach over a boundary hoarding in a futile attempt to kiss your feet. You will get flak, and people will say nasty things. But, considering that for every barb, you have numerous fan clubs around the world, any insult – no matter how vile – should be water off a duck’s back.
Virat Kohli struck 133 off 86 balls to propel India to a thumping win in 36.4 overs against Sri Lanka in Hobart on 28 feb 2012.
First of all, I'd like to say, well written. And I love the pics. :-)
ReplyDeleteNow in regards to Virat being fined/punished for his crime. I believe it was fair as it is not acceptable behaviour from an sportsperson or anyone in that matter. Regardless of their reasons. So his punishment was fair from the committee.
But I also believe the people in the crowd that were abusing should've also been punished. Because they are there to support their team and watch the match. Not to harass the player. So the board/committee should've punish them with a hefty fined along with a band to attend x amount of matches as an example to try and prevent others from doing the same.
