Kohli led team India won the fourth test match against England at “The Oval” and registered history. With each passing wicket on the final day, Kohli turned to the crowd and mocked “Barmy Army” while celebrating India’s success. The aggressive cricketer gestured “Trumpet” to troll the fans who were using one during the lunch.

“I don’t really love this. I find it weird when a top-class sportsman isn’t content with winning a game, having totally outplayed the opposition, but wants to stick it to the fans too.” wrote a journalist named Lawrence Booth. Replying to the post, Nick Crompton said “Yea it doesn’t look good for him! No need” through his tweet.

“Yeah this is class right…This is video of Anderson shredding ashwin photo after mankading incident” a twitter user asked by uploading the video of Anderson shredding Ashwin’s picture after mankading incident. “Hey @FoxCricket, what about the racist comments by the English crowd against Siraj? Or the corks thrown at KL Rahul on-field? How classy was that?” asked another Twitter user.

Hey @FoxCricket, what about the racist comments by the English crowd against Siraj?

Or the corks thrown at KL Rahul on-field?

How classy was that?

You know Virat thrives on such negativity and hatred. The more you throw such stuff at him the more it motivates him and his team to perform better.

So, as an Indian fan, I really love it when people instigate Virat. Keep it coming.😃😃
