Virat Kohli is known for his fiery personality on the field, especially in Tests, and particularly in Australia. The former captain showed his full support for Jasprit Bumrah, who had the upper hand over new Australian opener Nathan McSweeney briefly on Day 1 of the second Test in Adelaide on December 6.
Kohli, India’s most successful Test captain, reacted as McSweeney seemed unsettled against Bumrah, who had dismissed him in both innings of the first Test in Perth. In a video shared by Star Sports on X, Kohli can be heard saying:
“He’s got no clue.”

Nathan McSweeney ended the day unbeaten on 38 off 97 balls, including six fours, making the most of his chance after being dropped cheaply by Rishabh Pant.

Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma struggled with the bat as Australia dominated India on Day 1. At stumps, the hosts were 86/1, with Nathan McSweeney and Marnus Labuschagne (20 off 67) at the crease, trailing by 94 runs in the first innings.
Jasprit Bumrah claimed the only wicket, dismissing Usman Khawaja for 13 runs. Batting first, India was bowled out for 180, with Nitish Kumar Reddy top-scoring with 42 off 54 balls. KL Rahul and Shubman Gill contributed in the 30s, while Ravichandran Ashwin and Rishabh Pant added in the 20s.
Mitchell Starc shone with a six-wicket haul, and Aussie captain Pat Cummins and Scott Boland took two wickets each. Australia remains undefeated in pink-ball Tests, with a perfect record of seven wins. Meanwhile, India leads the five-match series 1-0 after their 295-run victory in Perth.
The visitors are aiming for a hat-trick of series wins in Australia, having won 2-1 in both the 2018/19 and 2020/21 tours.
