The series is over, as team India thumped Australia 2-1, but the off field fight and allagetions seems far from an ending. Now, an Australian test opener, who was not in the squad for the India tour, targeted Indian captain Virat Kohli. Recalling a run-in with Virat Kohli, former Australia opener Ed Cowan said he once felt like picking up a stump and stabbing the current India captain.
“I had a very sick Mum during one of those series and he said something that was inappropriate. What I make the point of ‘lost in translation’, he said something that was highly inappropriate.” he said.
“A personal matter that was highly sensitive. Highly inappropriate. But he didn’t realise that he’d overstepped the mark until the umpire came over and said — ‘Virat that’s overstepped the mark’ — and once that was said, he took a step back and apologised. “But, there was a moment I wanted to pick up the stump and stab him.” he said further.
