Virat Kohli’s on the field behaviour has garnered a lot of attention at Perth Test. Some approve of Kohli’s aggression, saying it’s his hunger to win and compete while others defend the behaviour of India captain because he is one of the finest cricketers in the world at the moment.
Then, there is the other lot who disapprove of Kohli’s on-field antics. Naseeruddin Shah, a veteran actor, is one of them. The actor took to Facebook on Monday to slam Kohli for his conduct.

INDIA staring at defeat
Chasing 287, India closed Day 4 at 112/5 with Vihari and Pant hanging in there. India lost early wickets in the chase. The visitors still require 175 to win with five remaining. Nathan Lyon was once again the wrecker-in-chief for Australia, sending back Indian captain Kohli and Vijay who was looking good at his brief stay at the crease.
