This Former Australian Player Surprisingly Supports Virat Kohli Instead Of Matthew Wade, Check What He Says About The Ugly Fight
As it is said, one cannot complete the chapter of India Vs Australia series without a spat, rage scenes and some utterly hateful comments. Just like the way he leads Indian team during the matches; when it comes to the match with Australia, Virat Kohli does the same passionately. He is literally the pioneer of conflicts between Australia, while the rival’s skipper Steve Smith is always the Kangaroo’s face.
This time Kohli’s spat included Aussies’ ace bowler Marcus Stoinis and keeper Matthew Wade. The incident took place during the fourth ball of the 33rd over. Kohli, just in between his dazzling innings has involved with the wicketkeeper who was harrowingly out of form with both bat and gloves, Matthew Wade, questioned Kohli’s spirit of the game after bye stolen due to misfield at the instant.
Coming to the stats of Kohli, it is pretty clear that it is him who led the second ODI bagging a stunning 92 off just 107 balls which included the fine eight boundaries.
In the video shared by the BCCI, it is seen that the timely move of Kohli, who was batting with Kedar Jadhav, trying to steal a single when Wade took his eyes off the incoming ball off Stoinis, Next to that, Marcus Stoinis and Kohli were seen having a conversation before Wade chirped something.
At that moment, to Kohli’s attentive byes, Stoinis was amused, on one side it was like you need to feel for the keeper. dichotomy to that, every run matter when it is with some tough team like Australia. Wade, the keeper wasn’t looking 100% fit and took his time after stopping the ball. The ever-alert Kohli watched it like a hawk and called his partner for a quick bye even as Wade took his eyes off the action.

After all, this is not the first time for Indian cricketers. Kohli earlier involved in an ugly spat with Mitchell Johnson, Steve Smith, and many others. The recent fiasco in which Smith tried to deny Rohit Sharma’s DRS appeal was simply gruesome. For all the valid reasons it is quite rudimentary to conclude Australian players schooling “game-spirit things” to Indians.
While the issue is still rolling on news and even before Kohli responded to it. The former Australian fast bowler and popular player Stuart Clark has come into the picture, he surprisingly supported the skipper Virat Kohli instead of backing Wade or Stoinis.
Post-match, this former Australian bowler said, “He (Wade) misfielded one. Whether the Indian batsman knew he was injured or not was probably a secondary question.”
He then added, “It’s one run. Is this the biggest issue this team has got? If I’m Matthew Wade and I’m Marcus Stoinis — and full credit to him for standing up for Matthew Wade — I’d be worrying about my own cricket, rather than all this other stuff.”
After all, this veteran cricketer dismissed the issue and mimicked it: “This is piddly crap.”
For all good, what he said is simply valid. Unlike the things that happened on the ground yesterday, let us assume that the Australians won’t raise the issue once again drawing some serious concerns.
