            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<figure><img src="https://media.cricketwinner.com/media/2025/05/4000.webp" width="445" height="267" alt=" Virat Kohli"/><figcaption> Virat Kohli</figcaption></figure><br><p><span id="input-sentence~0">Being one of the fiercest competing athletes in the world, Virat Kohli has shown a plethora of feelings on the field, like extreme rage and even elation. Like many other cricketers, Kohli's anger can be witnessed during Test series more often than not, which raises the question: is it a good way to show one's love and dedication towards a sport?</span><span id="input-sentence~1"> I guess everyone has their own opinion on the matter. Let's dig into the five moments witnessed all around the globe that prove his anger transformed the realm of red-ball sports.</span></p><h3><span id="input-sentence~1">1. Bringing Hell at Lord's&mdash;2021</span></h3><p><span id="input-sentence~1">As an ardent fan of Indian cricket, you would know Kohli&rsquo;s aggression reached an all-time high during the second test of the Pataudi Trophy held in Lord's.</span><span id="input-sentence~2"> Kohli's commanding demeanor directed the Indian bowlers to 'bring hell,' which is a famous line of his, as India's victory was long overdue in the match. In addition to that, him going back and forth with England's James Anderson whilst heavily sledging was the cherry on Kohli's rage cake.</span><span id="input-sentence~3"> As history tells, this was one of the most memorable matches in Indian cricket history.</span></p><p><img src="https://media.cricketwinner.com/media/2025/05/1723815573040_Virat-Kohli-and-Team-India,-2021-Test.webp" alt="" width="600" height="375" loading="lazy"></p><h3><span id="input-sentence~3">2. South African Disappointment&mdash;2018</span></h3><p><span id="input-sentence~3">During the Centurion Test, Kohli's anger erupted when a contentious DRS decision went in India's favor. He argued with the umpire and was observed gesticulating furiously, even hitting the ball on the ground.</span><span id="input-sentence~4"> Subsequently, during the press conference, he explained his outburst, claiming, "You need to be honest about how you feel."</span></p><p><img src="https://media.cricketwinner.com/media/2025/05/crikcet-rsa-ind-test_d9c1656e-117c-11e8-ba0b-8cab410cbd95.webp" alt="" width="600" height="338" loading="lazy"></p><h3><span id="input-sentence~4">3. Adelaide's Positive Mindset&mdash;2014</span></h3><p><span id="input-sentence~4">Despite being remembered for his double centuries, Kohli's response to being sledged by Mitchell Johnson in Adelaide was fierce. After being bumped on the body and words said, Kohli stood firm and uttered, "I gave it back; I don't mind a bit of banter. But I will not take abuse."</span></p><p><img src="https://media.cricketwinner.com/media/2025/05/virat_650_122814062201.webp" alt="" width="600" height="332" loading="lazy"></p><p><strong>Also read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/virat-kohli-last-test-match-date-opponent-stats/">Virat Kohli last Test match &ndash; Date, Opponent, Stats</a></p><h3><span id="input-sentence~0">4. Victory at Sydney&mdash;2019 Border-Gavaskar Trophy</span></h3><p><span id="input-sentence~0">In the Australia series, Kohli&rsquo;s aggression was on full display, especially during the face-off against Australian captain Tim Paine in the Perth Test, which resulted in multiple heated exchanges. &ldquo;I fully stand by my actions because I am someone who brings out passion into the game and plays in a manner where I intend to win,&rdquo; Kohli justified his post-match confrontation.</span></p><p><img src="https://media.cricketwinner.com/media/2025/05/IND-vs-AUS.webp" alt="" width="600" height="360" loading="lazy"></p><h3><span id="input-sentence~1">&nbsp;5. The Fall in Adelaide&mdash;2020&nbsp;</span></h3><p><span id="input-sentence~1">Kohli&rsquo;s temper reached new heights when witnessing India&rsquo;s 36 all-out, as the infamous score became synonymous with his raging temper in the dressing room. Even though he remained quiet after the team&rsquo;s collapse, sources close to him murmured that he was &ldquo;furious and utterly shattered.&rdquo; This was the last test for him before paternity leave, putting India into crisis mode.&nbsp;</span></p><p><span id="input-sentence~1"><img src="https://media.cricketwinner.com/media/2025/05/Virat_Kohli_1733466469932_1733466470191.webp" alt="" width="600" height="338" loading="lazy"><br><br>Kohli&rsquo;s anger, while being extremely controversial at times, has always come back to lionizing his deep-rooted passion for test cricket.</span></p>]]></content:encoded>
