One of the early incidents reflecting Virat Kohli's unabashed attitude
but also innate child-like humour came during his first trip to Australia with the Indian side in 2011-12
During the second Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Sydney,
, Kohli got frustrated with the jeering Aussie crowds and showed them the middle finger in an angry response.
The modern-day legend felt he had enjoyed his one-up moment with abusive spectators.
However, the promising Indian batter was in for a hard time with the match referee Ranjan Madugalle.
In an amusing conversation, Kohli initially denied his mistake before Madugalle showed him the newspaper and his image.
Virat Kohli instantly took a U-turn and apologised to the experienced official,
pleading with the Sri Lankan not to ban him for the subsequent
Test in Perth as he was already facing criticism for his low scores and was under threat of being dropped from the playing XI.
