On the other hand, there was a section of fans that supported Kohli for his unique tactics. A section of English fans felt like Kohli is deliberately trolling the Barmy Army, a group of fans and supporters in support of England cricket. In the end, fans remained divided on Kohli’s weird celebration.

Here is how fans got divided on Virat Kohli’s act

Booing at other countries national anthem is a class act. Pointing laser at opposition player's eyes is a class act. Mocking a 10 year old girl is a class act. And finally racism is the most classiest act.

And these hypocrites are going to lecture us. Kohli is the one that makes test cricket single handedly exciting .

Then what do u call to all the cork throwing by the English crowd at Indian players. English crowd has been unnecessary trolling him everytime by showing DRS signs and others.

He is a man who is open. He does not pretend to be too good like others. He is actually good at heart

Irony from a sports channel/account who hype Virat Kohli every single time India tour Australia.

Talking of the match, India displayed the best of their efforts in all the departments of the game to win the Test. Bowlers of India turned magical during the second session of the final day and sent back English batsmen in a quick span. Though the opening pair of England looked quite strong, the Indian bowlers had the final laugh.

India started making the mark in the 4^th Test with their 2^nd innings batting where they posted a huge 466 on the board. Rohit Sharma remained crucial in India’s huge score as he smashed a century and was supported well enough by other batsmen in the lineup. Pujara added good 61 runs and vital contributions from Shardul Thakur and Rishabh Pant towards the end turned the fate of the Indian side. The final match of the series will be played in Manchester from September 10.
