Kevin Pietersen Backs Virat Kohli: So far, the dominance of the Australian team has been seen in the Melbourne Test and the Indian team is seen on the backfoot. On the first day of this match, there was a huge dispute between Virat Kohli and Sam Constas, which made a lot of headlines. Most people blamed Kohli in this matter. However, meanwhile, former England batsman Kevin Pietersen has supported Kohli and also said big things in his praise.

Let us tell you that this incident was seen in the tenth over of Australia's innings. During the break, when Sam Konstans was taking off his gloves, Kohli's shoulder collided with him while passing by. Due to this, Constas' temper rises and he is seen asking Kohli the reason for this action. Kohli also retaliates and then the umpire has to intervene and calm the matter down. The video of this incident went viral on social media.

Kohli got support from Kevin Pietersen

Within just a few hours, the ICC took action against Kohli and fined him 20% of his match fee and also gave him one demerit point. However, despite this, Australian fans and some former cricketers are angry with Kohli.

Meanwhile, Kevin Pietersen has come out in favor of the Indian legend. He has called Kohli a showman. Pietersen wrote in his tweet, Australia stadiums have become theaters because of Virat. Imagine how boring these matches would be without the showman (Virat) and he has earned everything in his career on the basis of runs. Many will end their successful international careers with 1/4 of their achievements.

Virat creating theatre down under! Let’s GO!
Imagine how boring it would be without the showman! And he’s earned EVERYTHING with his runs over his career!
Many would end their successful international careers with a 1/4 of what he’s achieved….

It is noteworthy that Virat Kohli looked to be in good form with the bat during the Indian innings. Along with Yashasvi Jaiswal, he made a partnership of 102 runs for the third wicket. But during this time Jaiswal was a little unlucky and was run out. After this, Australian fans were seen booing Kohli. After Jaiswal was out, Kohli also left after scoring 36 runs.
