Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli Clash with Fans in Melbourne Over Unexpected Provocation
Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli expressed displeasure during a training session at the Melbourne Cricket Ground as fans shouted and demanded specific shots. The Indian team, preparing for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy decider, previously held closed-door practices after players faced fan abuse. Rohit and Kohli, struggling in Tests, aim to regain form in the crucial Boxing Day match.
India vs Australia has been going through an intense Border-Gavaskar Trophy series, with both teams gearing up for the crucial fourth Test on Boxing Day at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). The Indian team, led by Rohit Sharma, has been focused on rigorous training sessions, particularly for senior players Virat Kohli and Sharma, who are determined to regain form.
Kohli began the series strongly with a century in Perth but has struggled since, scoring only 26 runs across the next two games. Meanwhile, Sharma’s performance has been underwhelming, managing just 19 runs in two matches. Both players’ contributions will be pivotal for India to secure a series win.
However, the training sessions at MCG saw a hiccup as Sharma and Kohli expressed frustration at fans shouting and demanding specific shots during practice. While previous sessions were held behind closed doors due to incidents of player abuse, fans were present this time, causing discomfort for the senior players.
