Virat booed by Oz fans

Virat Kohli was booed by a small section of the Adelaide Oval crowd when he stepped out to bat in the second innings against Australia, an act that has been criticised by rival batsman Travis Head and former skipper Ricky Ponting.

Kohli came out to bat after the fall of opener KL Rahul and was jeered by a small group of Australian fans. He received similar boos when he had headed to bat on the opening day.

Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting, who was also booed by sections of English crowd on a few occasions during the 2009 Ashes tour, also expressed his displeasure at seeing the action by the fans. “I don’t like seeing it at all,” Ponting said.
