Virat Kohli
Former Australian cricketer Mike Hussey has said that Indian skipper Virat Kohli is out of control and that he does not like his attitude.
"Kohli is out of control... I don't like his attitude at the moment," Hussey was quoted as saying by Macquarie Sports Radio.
Virat's behaviour has been questioned of lateafter he was heard exchanging words with Australian skipper Tim Paine on daythree of the Perth Test. The stump mic revealed an ugly war of words between the two captains.
The match got spiced up on the third day when Virat Kohli completed his 25th Test hundred got India to 283 runs but caught at second slip after a controversial catch by Peter Handscomb.
Virat looked unhappy with the decision and tensions flared-up when Australia started batting in their second innings.
Kohli was his usual animated self but his on-field antics did not go down well with former Australian players Mike Hussey and Allan Border.
"Kohli is out of control ... I don't like his attitude at the moment," Hussey was quoted as saying by Macquarie Sports Radio, while former captain
Border told Fox Cricket: "I don't think I've ever seen any captain carry on like that."
Virat Kohli and Tim Paine on Monday resumed their verbal duel, forcing on-field umpire Chris Gaffaney to warn both the players on the fourth morning of the second Test between India and Australia.
During the 71st over bowled by Jasprit Bumrah, the respective captains were seen exchanging words after Kohli decided to field close to the non-striker and Gaffaney had to step in.
Indian commentator Sanjay Manjrekar wasn't too pleased with Kohli's behaviour but former Australian skippers Ricky Ponting and Michael Clarke said they had no issue with the verbal exchange between the two captains and that no line has been crossed so far.
