Virat Kohli Clashes with Australian Journalist Over Privacy Concerns: ‘I Need Privacy with My Kids’

Virat Kohli Clashes with Australian Journalist Over Privacy Concerns: As reported, Virat Kohli had quite a confrontation with Australian media when he reached Melbourne on Friday before the crucial Boxing Day Test match against Australia. He also turned up furious because he thought he was being photographed with his children at the airport. He is quite known for being protective about his family, and when he realized that the entire family was filmed without his consent, he lost all his calm.

According to the report by Channel 7, Kohli reportedly turned into a heated argument between him and an Australian TV journalist after spotting video cameras pointed towards his children.

"It was upon seeing the waiting cameras that Kohli became a little heated over what is largely a misunderstanding when he thought the media was filming him with his children," Channel 7 reporter Theo Doropoulos said.

Kohli then made his position clear. "With my kids I need some privacy, you just can't film without asking me," he was heard saying according to the report.

As stated in the article, the journalist and the cameraman concerned got cleared after the discussion regarding Kohli, who was not shooting with his family members.

Things were settled and Kohli went away after shaking hands with a Channel 7 cameraperson.

Kohli has been out of touch in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Though his second hundred in Test cricket came in the second Test in Perth - his 30th - the tour of Australia really has not started for the right-handed batter. Aside from that century, Kohli now has 5, 7, 11 and 11 registered against his name.

The former captain has seven centuries on Australian soil, but his main cause of worry is the manner in which he has been getting out. Bowled off balls far outside off-stump, questioning his technique and reflexes.

The Boxing Day Test can settle the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The five-game series is still 1 all since India surprised everyone by winning the first game at Perth. When they hammered the Australians by a record overseas victory margin, it was by 295 runs.

Australia bounced back in the day-night Test at Adelaide, crushing India, with India's 10-wicket Victory in the match.

The clouds played havoc with what would otherwise have been a magnificent third test match at the Gabba, as they had done earlier in the year.

The fourth assignment will be at the MCG, starting on December 26.
