Virat Kohli has once again grabbed the spotlight in the ongoing fourth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia. The high-stakes Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) has provided the perfect platform for Kohli to showcase his intensity, and the star batter has not disappointed.
From the very start of the match, Virat Kohli has been at the forefront, making life difficult for Australian batters, particularly with the pitch offering little assistance to the bowlers. Known for his fiery demeanour and passion on the field, Kohli has been involved in a series of fiery exchanges, including a memorable confrontation with debutant Sam Konstas.

The two were seen sharing some heated words, and Virat Kohli even shoulder-bumped Konstas, adding fuel to the already intense atmosphere. Despite the drama surrounding his interactions with the opposition, Kohli’s commitment to his team has been unwavering. His on-field energy has kept up the pressure on the Australian batters, even as they look to dominate.
However, Kohli’s aggressive demeanour has not been well-received by the MCG crowd, which, naturally, has been in full support of the home team. One notable moment came when Kohli displayed his trademark commitment to the cause by stopping a potential boundary. On the 4th ball of the 59th over, Akash Deep bowled a delivery that Steve Smith pushed at, edging it past second slip.
