Australian newspaper called Virat Kohli 'Clown Kohli' after Day 1 of 4th BGT 2024-25 Test

The West Australian newspaper took a brutal dig at Virat Kohli after the first day of the ongoing 4th BGT 2024-25 Test in Melbourne. After he was involved in a controversial shoulder barge with young debutant Sam Konstas, the newspaper targeted the Indian cricketer, calling him 'Clown Kohli.'

Their back page carried an image of him with a joker nose ball, which can also be seen in the bottom right corner of their back page after the second day. The newspaper called him a 'sook' for 'deliberately bumping' into Sam Konstas and wrote that he escaped a ban that would have ruled him out of the Sydney Test.

Ever since the controversial incident, the Australian media, including some of their former cricketers, have been after Kohli, calling him out for his behavior on the field against a 19-year-old debutant.
