Virat Kohli was met by boos as he walked off the MCG on Thursday afternoon. The Indian cricket great has been embroiled in plenty of controversy this week, notably clashing with a journalist upon his arrival in Melbourne, before being handed a sanction by the ICC for shoulder-bumping Aussie debutant Sam Konstas.

Things turned from bad to worse for Kohli on Thursday with the ex-captain struggling to score runs as his side chased a 475-run target. Scott Boland steamed in to dismiss both Yashavsi Jaiswal and Kohli in quick succession, with the 36-year-old walking from the crease having scored a paltry 36 runs, by his epic standards.

Kohli, who was fined 20 per cent of his match fee and handed a demerit point for his bump on Konstas, walked down the MCG tunnel toward the changing rooms, but he appeared to become incensed by something said to him by a fan. He had walked under the covers of the tunnel, before making a U-turn to walk back out to where fans were leaning over the walls of the tunnel.
