Virat Kohli was booed by Australian fans on Day 2 of the ongoing Boxing Day Test at the MCG.
Star India batter Virat Kohli was booed by Australian fans on Day 2 of the ongoing Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on Friday. A section of the crowd was heard jeering at Kohli as he walked out to bat. In fact, Kohli had a stare down at fans, who were seen mocking him following his dismissal late on Day 2. Kohli was stopped from confronting them by a security offical, who calmed him down before things could escalate.
However, the MCG officials are unlikely to take any action against those fans, mainly because the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is yet to file an official complaint. The development was confirmed by The Melbourne Cricket Club CEO Stuart Fox.
"You're never comfortable when you've got fans heavily engaging with the player. As the operator, you are just always watching. I went and looked at the vision last night. I have been talking to security this morning. There has been no official complaint from India, they are comfortable," Fox told Sen Radio.
Fox also condemned the behaviour of the fans.
