When Virat smashed sledger Faulkner for 6

The Australians are known to be best sledgers in cricket. Would they leave a chance to sledge Virat Kohli when he is going great guns? No, they won't. So James Faulkner who was bowling was curious why Virat Kohli was not going at him in the third one-day international in Melbourne. He went up to Virat and asked him, `Mate, why are you not going after my bowling.' Virat told him, "I have smashed you enough in my cricketing life. Don't waste your energy. Go and bowl.' Next ball from Faulkner, Virat smashed it out of the ground. Sledging by the Australians is aimed at disturbing the concentration of a batsmen and getting them out. The cricket authorities tolerate it as it is a White man's game in Australia. The infamous monkey gesture by Harbhajan Singh was not taken kindly by the Australians who ensured that the Indian spinner paid dearly for it.
