The Australian media has hit rock bottom. Calling Virat Kohli, one of cricket’s all-time greats, a “clown” is not just shameful—it’s a vile, pathetic attempt to defame a legend who has done more for cricket than their petty headlines ever will. This disgraceful remark following his exchange with Sam Konstas on Day 1 of the fourth Test in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy is an unforgivable insult, reeking of jealousy and bias.

This isn’t journalism—it’s a cheap, cowardly attempt to rile up controversy because their team is struggling to match India’s dominance on the field. The Australian media’s history of targeting opposition players with baseless, derogatory remarks is a disgusting trend that has gone on far too long. How dare they try to tarnish the reputation of a player who has carried the weight of a billion dreams with unmatched grace, skill, and passion?

Who are they to call Kohli a “clown”? This is a man who has rewritten cricketing history while their players are busy sledging and failing. Their words reek of desperation, a pathetic effort to deflect attention from their own inadequacies.

Enough is enough. This constant barrage of disrespect, this shameless mudslinging, has no place in sports. Australian media, get your house in order and show some damn respect. Kohli is a titan of cricket, and no pathetic insult will ever diminish his greatness.
