Viral Video: Virat Kohli gets Angry at Media at Melbourne Airport

A week before the Boxing Day Test in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy, the renowned Indian batsman Virat Kohli was seen arguing angrily with a journalist at the Melbourne Airport. Anushka Sharma and Kohli have chosen not to expose their kids to the media, but that's what happened when Kohli and his family touched down at the airport. 

When Virat Kohli and his family were seen at the airport, several reporters reportedly interviewed Australian pacer Scott Boland. When the cameras turned on Kohli, the Indian star became agitated. The fact that he and his family were being filmed by Channel 7 surprised Kohli. He heatedly argued with a television reporter about how his privacy wasn't being protected.

A journalist attempted to take images without Kohli's permission, and they had a heated argument. According to 7NEWS, Kohli was heard stating, "You can't film without asking me; I need some privacy with my kids." Moreover, a reporter revealed, "It was upon seeing the waiting cameras that Kohli became a little heated over what is largely a misunderstanding when he thought the media was filming him with his children."

But after Kohli was reassured that his kids weren't being filmed, the situation calmed down. According to a source, after receiving the necessary assurance, Kohli even shook hands with a cameraman from Channel 7.

In terms of cricket, Kohli has not had the best series thus far. Before the series, there was a lot of excitement since it was thought that Kohli would bounce back from a slump in his Test form. His performances have been generally lacklustre, though, except for the undefeated 100 in India's second innings in Perth. It makes sense that Kohli's performance with the bat will be crucial to India's success in the rest of the series.
