5. India vs New Zealand 2020
This was the last Test match India played this year. It was the second Test match between India and New Zealand at the Hagley Oval in Christchurch. India was out to field after concluding their first innings in the Test match. Then out of the blue, the drunk crowd present at the ground started mocking the Indian captain.
He was standing in the slips and was not impressed by this behaviour of the crowd. As soon as the wicket of Kiwi captain Kane Williamson fell, Kohli was in a flash and was seen swearing and signalling the crowd to shut up. The reaction wasn’t surprising as India took a huge wicket that brought them back into the contest.
Ultimately when after the match the media asked him a question regarding this moment Kohli asked them to not put ‘half-hearted’ questions in front of him.
