Jan 17: Cricket has its own spats and banters. A similar instance happened during India’s innings during the 3rd ODI match against Australia in Melbourne. Indian batsman Virat Kohli was in form during the match and hitting every ball coming his way for runs. When James Faulkner bowled and got smashed by Kohli, the two had a banter on the pitch itself.

As Virat Kohli scored important runs in the match to attain an insurmountable score, Australian bowlers were being flustered.  As Kohli hit James Faulkner delivered ball, the two had a small exchange of words. Recorded by the stump mike, James Faulkner approached Virat Kohli spoke a few words. Kohli’s reply was audibly recorded saying “I have smashed you enough in my life. You are wasting your energy.”

Seems like an odd place for a friendly catch-up! Oh well, India 2-172 after 35: https://t.co/ot5kt4fvl3 #AUSvIND pic.twitter.com/qukAz4FSWD

The match became exciting as the two engaged in more repertoire. However, Kohli kept his focus on the game and went onwards to score his 24th century in the match.  Kohli also is the fastest man to score 7000 runs. However, the incredible innings of the batsman went in vain as Australia won the match sealing off the five match series. Ironically, it was James Faulkner himself who scored the final runs of the Australian innings to secure the victory and series.
