You come up with the word that best describes it. 3) Kohli had no business being involved with the batter. 4) Shameful how he walked across deliberately and physically barged into the young kid. 5) Kohli is looked up to by millions across the world for his passion. He has a bigger responsibility than any other cricketer. 6) This isn’t a “it happens in the heat of the moment”. What heat? What moment ? It’s a 19 year old kid on debut. Kohli isn’t even the bowler here. He planned this cowardly act . 7) Ricky ponting was the batter when he did his thing against the bowler (Bhajji) 8) Mitch Johnson was the bowler who threw the ball that hit Virat(who was the batter) 9) Stop the whataboutery. 10) Kohli deserves a punishment. Maybe even a suspension. 11) Kohli needs to focus on letting his bat talk for a change. It’s been 5 years.

This got to be the biggest embarrassment that VK has put himself in. Getting into an altercation with a teenager who showed more resolve in one innings than what VK and RS have put in all series. Not sure if this was the humility he was talking after T20 world cup. It's diabolical when RS with an avg of 11 across last 13 innings plays and Gill sits this out. RS will be 38 by the end of CT25, what's the point of him continuing to play.

Harsha is right about Kohli. It was not necessary. It showed frustration

[@shibashisbehera8346]

Waiting for a hitman show.

[@30zoop]

I thought Harsha and DK would discuss poor slip positioning by India today more than a handful of edges fell short of slips. Were Pant and Rohit Sharma not proactive?

[@vcrlu]

Can’t believe with all the money BCCI has we can’t have a second quality fast bowler! Should have given Mayank Yadav a chance on this tour

[@rushangpatel8256]

@harsha you could have asked me, would deliver home made food Anna

[@UMJ-c5i]

No discussion on Rohit Sharma’s captaincy? Maybe reserve our judgement until his first innings? On the bowler front - I do think Nitish Reddy did a fantastic job.

[@gaunterodimm6370]

Why is kohli still in squad? Childish behavior typical north indian. Meanwhile decent tamil cricketers like ashwin anna are forced to retire. Really we tamilians need to move on from the indian state

[@malamsingh1944]

Aggression and all is fine, but this behaviour from guys like Kohli and Siraj is unnecessary cringe aggresion. It doesn't look good, specially if you ain't backing it up with performance. If a player is well set and no tactic is working to get him out, then all these gimmicks can work actually to disturb mentality of the batter in crease. But here Konstas just came, and it wasn't even one session of cricket and Kohli seems so frustrated and he did this. Unnecessary

[@srinivasrao369]

Virat kohli was lucky with the fine Not done in cricket BCCI shld hv a word with him

[@buntysingh3166]

India I think has one chance .. Get Australia under 375 and then score 450-500 itself in its first at bat. That I feel is their only chance. I think this wicket will only deteriotate from 4th day onwards.

[@varunbhaskar9003]

DK is unable to criticize Kohli since he has to work with him at RCB. Conflict of interest.

[@PriyaV-en7ps]

same feedback was aussie too much dependency on head and india too much dependency on bumrah, now Aussie prooved they cld make even without head but India looks hopelesss without bumrah..poor boy ..overloaded too much, washi shld hv bowled some 7-8 overs over instead siraj and he shld be even replaced

[@harshsharma8160]

The barge was unprofessional ! Not expected from a legend !

[@sumitroy2205]

In Indian cricket jargon legend word is cheaper than a sack of potato. We use it everywhere:)

[@col.mustang]

konstas just rode his luck . He's new on the block . won't get away again ! Ask Jaiswal

[@PriyaV-en7ps]

in brisbane Auss scored 445 in 1st innings ,now also they will near that total, i dont think India will near that total, 4th day chasing will be tooo hard...whoever comes up to the greece has put 50-70 partnership.....still Inida havent put total 300 so far in 1st innings

[@hriticvelayutham4348]

It's just fight of egos kohli wanted konstas to step away when he came in his way but he kept his path .This is not first time kohli did it (tim paine similar) when you have audacity to smack bumrah, you are age don't matter either 19 or 40 it's war here .

[@premalur]

It was not expected from a tenured campaigner to have got into an altercation with a teenage debutant, does this suggest the frame of mind for not able to except the situation and pushing harder than being mindful . Believe need to work smarter and apply skills to bring results in current series.

[@kunjandesai4341]

Fact of the matter is, we keep non performers in the team...On what basis rohit is still part of this team..Neither he's helping with the bat nor with his captainship.

[@lakshyapitti4849]

The only way I see Rohit being successful in tests right now is probably just giving up defense and playing the game like a T20 match if it works well and good if not, it is not like he is performing with the bat right now

[@gomzitoocool]

Shame on DK for not being critical about VK incident

[@mathewsjohn4361]

Rohit is not picking the old ball at No.6, what he will do against the new ball? Let us see.

[@wesleyjohnmathews3098]

give chance to nitish to play up the order..Sure india will come close to the Australia scoreboard..third day and 4th pitch will adapt for spin so india have high chance to win this match. But rohit as to use sundar and nitish more overs especially sundar..field placement was also not up to the mark..atleast bumrah should captain last match.

[@ritishp]

Advantage Australia after Day -1… Kohli should focus on scoring runs instead of these antics

[@jayaprakashk5607]

Dropping Gill is a master stroke Nithish even Sunder can bat better than Him

[@DoFi12]

What use is Siraj!?

[@infoshop539]

Aus look in control - we are not batting that well so will be difficult- Jaiswal is key
