Tensions ran high during the high-voltage Boxing Day Test match between India and Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). A shocking incident from the stands during the encounter has caught the attention of cricket enthusiasts around the world.

In a video which has gone viral on social media, an Australian fan can be seen being escorted out of the iconic venue after allegedly hitting an Indian supporter. The person who uploaded this video said in her caption that the Aussie fan got “overwhelmed by emotions” before getting physical.

The animosity between the two sides has been palpable, with Mohammed Siraj and Marnus Labuschagne hoggling the limelight since the second Test in Adelaide. On Day 1 of the Boxing Day Test, Virat Kohli shoulder-bumped Sam Konstas and was subsequently handed a fine of 20 per cent of his match fee and one demerit point.

A popular Australian newspaper described Kohli as ‘Clown Kohli’ after this incident. The same newspaper also called Rohit a ‘Captain Cry Baby’. Therefore, the tension hasn’t stayed only within the confines of the picturesque stadiums in Australia.
