This incident is all about a young Virat Kohli who lost his cool after receiving repeated taunting from the SCG crowd. In reaction, Kohli showed the middle finger to spectators, resulting in an ICC punishment. Kohli then justified his response, claiming constant insults.
The incident highlighted the emotional toll of playing in challenging conditions and signalled the start of Kohli's angry character on the international scene. Kohli's reply sparked uproar, and his photo of a middle finger appeared on the top page of newspapers the next day. As a result, Kohli was penalized 50% of his match money, yet this remains one of the most profound controversies in the world of BGT.
