Virat banned TV journalists from taking photos of his children at Melbourne Airport.
Veteran batsman Virat Kohli clashed with Australian media at Melbourne Airport. They refused to allow the media to take photos of the family, but a Channel 7 reporter took the photo. In this regard, Australian media declared that the airport was public property.
The Indian team reached Melbourne on Thursday ahead of the Boxing Day Test. Team India is scheduled to play the fourth match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy with Australia starting December 26. The 5-game series is tied 1-1. India had drawn the Gaba Test a day earlier (December 18). India won the first match in Perth by 295 runs, while in the Pink Ball Test played in Adelaide, the host team won by 10 wickets.
What is it about?
Virat reached Melbourne airport with his wife Anushka Sharma and children (Vamika and Akay). Then a journalist from the Australian channel “Channel 7” made his video. Virat asked the journalist to publish his photos but delete his family’s photos, but the journalist did not listen to Kohli. Under Australian law, there are no restrictions on taking photos or making videos of a celebrity in a public place.
Virat Kohli leaves the airport in anger.
The journalist said:
Kohli got angry after seeing the cameras. He felt like the media were taking pictures of him with his children. It’s a misunderstanding.
Kohli told the media:
With children I need a little privacy, you can’t take photos without asking me.
Under Australian law, there are no restrictions on taking videos or photographs of a celebrity in a public place. When Kohli learned that his children were not being photographed, he clarified the situation to the media and even shook hands with the Channel 7 cameraman.
Kohli likes to keep his family away from the media, especially his children. He has been seen several times asking the media not to take photos of children.
Kohli had written an emotional post a day earlier, on Wednesday, December 18, for Ravichandran Ashwin. Ashwin had announced his retirement after the Gaba Test.
Virat Kohli could only score 3 runs in the Gabba Test and has been struggling with poor form for quite some time. He could only score 3 runs in India’s first innings in the Gabba Test. He managed to score only 126 runs in 3 matches in this series at an average of 31.50. He scored a century in the second innings of the Perth Test.
