Former England National Cricket Team batsman Kevin Pietersen has backed Virat Kohli amid all criticism from former Australian cricketers amid the fourth Test of the 2024-25 Frontier-Gavaskar Trophy. The match is underway at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne.
Kohli has become the main talking point in the fourth consecutive Test of the series against the Australian National Cricket Team. The batter has been on the receiving end of a lot of criticism because of his opposition in Melbourne.
Virat Kohli grabbed the headlines after his fight with Australian National Cricket Team opener Sam Konstas
Kohli grabbed the headlines after he got into a fight with a player of the Australian National Cricket team Constance himself. The two players on Day One of the match were involved in a huge uproar, and it raised bars in both groups as well as the crowd at the MCG.
After seeing Kohli try Sam Konstas, things between the two became more intense after the 10th over. The two players bumped shoulders as they moved across the pitch between overs. This saw them share a heated exchange of words before Usman Khawaja and the landlord stopped him to separate the sticks.
After that, Virat Kohli has faced a lot of criticism as many Australian fans and pundits criticized him for his behaviour. The batter was dismissed by many for going hard with the young batsman, who was making his debut for the Australian National Cricket Team.

Virat Kohli was on the receiving end of harsh words from the crowd, but his move towards the fan was celebrated. Things didn't stop there for him as when he came to bat, the fans were in awe of him, and then after he got out, he had a hot moment.

Think how boring it would be without the showman! And he has won EVERYTHING with his runs over his career – Kevin Pietersen
Kevin Pietersen, however, likes the theater that Virat Kohli is creating in Australia. He said that whatever is going on has been earned with his runs over his career. He also targeted Australian cricketers. Taking to his Twitter account, he explained:
“Virat creating theater below! Let's go! Think how boring it would be without the showman! And he has earned EVERYTHING with his runs over his career! Many would finish on their successful international careers with 1/4 of what he has achieved….”
