Top 5 Controversies from the Border-Gavaskar Trophy
Revisiting the Border-Gavaskar Trophy clashups, here are the top 5 most controversial moments that have defined this fierce cricketing rivalry.
3. Glenn Maxwell mocking Virat Kohli's shoulder injury
Another issue erupted during one of the BGT’s when Glenn Maxwell criticised Virat Kohli's shoulder injury. During the third Test in Ranchi, Indian captain Virat Kohli hurt his shoulder while diving to rescue a boundary in the first innings. He had to leave the pitch as India batted after Australia made 451 runs.
While Maxwell was fielding impeccably, in one instance, he placed a hand on his right shoulder, mimicking Kohli, who had suffered the same injury. However, coming to play in the second innings, after Ravindra Jadeja sent David Warner out for 14 runs, Kohli made the same move as Maxwell by patting vehemently on his shoulder as a response to the Aussies all-rounder.
