And, these are the words of Indian skipper representing the country at the highest level. Virat Kohli’s latest foul-mouthed rant against his opponents will make you hang your head in shame. So, what exactly happened? Indian cricket team captain Virat was caught using a cuss word against the entire South African squad during the second day of play of the Centurion Test held at SuperSport Park in Centurion. The stump mic audio shows Kohli sharing vulgar comments with Murali Vijay as India went on the tea break at 80/2.

Kohli might travel to any part of the world, he won’t forgo the Delhiwala attitude! Being aggressive is one thing but being a cocky fool and that too in the role of a leader is completely different. There have been a number of incidents when the dashing cricketer put up a questionable display of aggression, be it hurling abuses at journalists during World Cup 2015 or losing his cool against a performing Ishan Kishan in Indian Premier League 2017. And once again in the ongoing South Africa tour, Kohli proved why he remains the champion with a gutter mouth.

After losing two quick wickets in the first session, India went into the tea break at the score of 80. Virat was accompanied by Vijay at the crease. It was here when he let the verbal diarrhoea take over. The stump mic caught him saying, “Aise Hi Shaam Tak Khelenge Toh Inki G***D Fat Jaegi,” which roughly translates to ‘if we continue playing like this until the end of the day, they (South Africa) will shit their pants.’ (Trust us this is the soberest way to translate the slur Kohli used against the South African team.)

The attacking batsman who does not believe in mincing his words has time and again made people cringe, be it former cricketing greats or sports lovers. While the television audiences missed Kohli’s disgusting remarks, the alert netizens did not fail to bring it upon the social media. Twitter is abuzz with Virat Kohli’s latest choice of words and condemning him for the same.

Virat Kohli's Disappointed Fans

Kohli is undoubtedly the anchorman of Indian team. There are no ifs and buts attached to that status. With India trailing 0-1 in three-match Test series, the 29-year-old has batted like a dream in the second Test to fuel the visiting side’s chances. He is at 85 not out and the man who will shoulder the hopes of millions of Indian cricket fans to win the maiden overseas tour in Proteas land. However, it is his non-playing antics that overshadow his exceptional cricketing skills. It is high time, the young cricketer mends his way to become a leader, a role model who understands the gravitas of his words.
