Australian wicketkeeper-batsman Brad Haddin and his teammates launched a barrage of sledging towards Virat Kohli after coming close to running out the Indian superstar during the fifth day of the Melbourne Test.

Kohli, who narrowly survived a run-out opportunity in the second innings, was visibly unimpressed with the reactions from Australian fieldsmen and gestured in the direction of the umpire, in an attempt to protest against sledging.

Haddin, while clapping his hands in Kohli's direction, said that it was all about him, it was all about him, News.com.au reported

Kohli hit an impressive century against the Australians in the first innings of the Melbourne Test before revealing in a media conference that the home side had called him a spoiled brat and had taunted him all day long.
