Video: Glenn Maxwell, Australian cricketers mock Virat Kohli over shoulder injury
Ranchi: The bad blood between Australia and India continued with spin all-rounder Glenn Maxwell making fun of host captain Virat Kohli's shoulder injury while fielding on day three of the third Test here on Saturday.
On the opening day, Kohli was left clutching his right shoulder in pain after he dived while fielding at the mid-on area and later scans revealed that he had suffered a strain and missed fielding action for 400 minutes the entire day two.
Maxwell, who had struck a brilliant hundred on Friday, was seen mocking Kohli's injury when he replicated the Indian skipper's action by clutching his right shoulder after his dive to save a boundary in the 80.3 overs on Saturday.
Pujara had played a fine flick through the mid-on off Pat Cummins and Maxwell gave a fine chase at the deep, exactly in the same region where Kohli had that awkward dive to injure his right shoulder in the post-lunch session of day one.
Kohli, as the Australians would have liked it, got out on the very next delivery after Maxwell had mocked him. Cummins drew Kohli into the drive and as Kohli obliged, the ball flew towards Steve Smith as Kohli edged it and the Australian skipper, who was standing in the second slip, made no mistake holding onto a chance.
While it was clear that Kohli's was a prized wicket for the visitors, Australian cricketers gave the Indian skipper a mouthful as Kohli walked off the field after speaking with the umpire.
During the Bangalore Test, Kohli had stopped just short of labelling Smith a "cheat" after the Australian skipper was caught looking up to the dressing room for help for a DRS call after being caught lbw.
