A lot of English supporters, journalists, and experts had termed Kohli’s act ‘classless’ for taking a jibe at England’s Barmy Army. As the social media platforms were divided with some advocating the Delhi-based batsman while some speaking against him.

As a well-known journalist Lawrence Booth along with the expert Nick Compton criticized Kohli for his actions, the former England skipper Michael Vaughan loved the Indian skipper’s character and also hailed him for his tactical masterclass as the tourists won the Test comfortably.
