India batting superstar Virat Kohli’s outburst on the Aussie reporter for filming him along with his wife and kids has gone viral. Channel 7 reporter continues to attack the sporting icon calling him a bully for his behaviour towards the female reporter who filmed him at the airport as he arrived in Melbourne.
The Indian team has arrived in Melbourne for the fourth Border-Gavaskar Test. Though there is still time for the Boxing Day Test it turns out there was already a bit of drama at the airport as the Indian team arrives in the city and Virat loses his cool on one of the Aussie reporters. However, this has not stopped Channel 7 reporter Tony Jones who has publicly berated the Indian legend on this incident calling him a bully.

“Nat was out there with a cameraman, a Channel 7 reporter was out there with his cameraman and they were doing what we do on a daily basis essentially, and that’s be at the airport to actually get identities, whether they’re politicians, whether they’re sporting identities or whatever,” said Jones as quoted by Hindustan Times
“What really got my back up when I saw the footage was that he turned around to the three blokes, the two cameramen and the reporter from Channel 7, and said you guys are OK, it’s her. Really? Big tough man, Virat and then he stood over this girl, Nat Yoannidis, who’s about five foot one, five foot two, and just absolutely berated her. You’re nothing but a bully, Virat.” Jones added
Speaking of Virat’s performance apart from the century in Perth it has not been the best series in Australia for him. The two-time World Champion has only managed to score 126 runs and averaged only 31.50 with a string of low scores in the last two Test matches.
