The West Australian has published this photo of Kohli on its back page.
The Australian media made fun of Virat Kohli after his clash with debutant Sam Constas in the Melbourne Test. The West Australian newspaper on its back page on Friday showed Virat Kohli as a clown and called him Clown Kohli i.e. Joker Kohli.
The newspaper said that an Indian coward collided with a boy making his dream debut, he should be punished for this.
A newspaper said that the fine imposed on Kohli after the clash with Constas was less. Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar said that Australian media always works as the supporting staff of the cricket team. This is not right.
Kohli clashed with Constas, fined 20% of match fee
Virat Kohli pushed Australian batsman Sam Constas.
There was an argument between Constas and Virat after the 10th over. The umpire had to calm the matter down.
On the first day of the Melbourne Test, 19-year-old opener Sam Konstas made his debut for Australia. Kontas scored a fifty in his debut match. During this, Kohli had pushed him and also argued with him. After this ICC had reduced Kohli’s match fee by 20%. One demerit point was also given.
Former cricketers Sunil Gavaskar and Irfan Pathan termed the Australian media’s stand as wrong. Gavaskar said that this is wrong. Australian media is always the supporting staff of its cricket team.
One paper called Clown i.e. Joker, one called Constas a King.
The West Australian newspaper has published such a photo of Kohli on its back page.
Australia’s The Daily Telegraph newspaper published the headline ‘King Con’ meaning ‘Constans is King’.
3 statements on Kohli-Constas case
1. Ponting said- Kohli got less punishment Former captain Ricky Ponting, commenting on Channel 7, said, ‘Exempting Kohli can have an impact in the future. I don’t think this is a harsh punishment for a legend like Kohli.” 2. Gavaskar said- Australia uses ‘Kohli brand’ Former cricketer Sunil Gavaskar said that you use a legendary player like Kohli to promote cricket in your country, then you call the same cricketer a joker. Australian media has always been the sporting staff of the Australian team.
3. Irfan said- Calling Kohli a joker is not acceptable
Former cricketer Irfan Pathan, commenting on Star Sports, said, “Kohli’s behavior cannot be called right, but it is not right for the Australian media to target Virat in this way. It is not right to call a legendary cricketer like Virat a joker.” This cannot be accepted.”
Gavaskar’s question – only fine on 2, Kohli also given demerit point Gavaskar also termed ICC’s lesser punishment as wrong. He said that four such incidents have happened this year. Josh Hazlewood was fined 15 percent of his match fee for such an incident. Jasprit Bumrah was also fined 15 percent. Along with 20 percent fine, one demerit point has also been given to Virat Kohli.
