India defeated Australia by 36 runs at the Kennington Oval in London on June 9. Shikhar Dhawan’s hundred and the exceptional bowling performance led the men in blue to victory. Though congratulatory messages have poured in for their performance, fans are praising Kohli for his gesture to the crowd who was booing Steve Smith. Kohli requested the crowd to clap for Steve instead of booing him. "Just because there are so many Indian fans here, I didn't want them to set a bad example. He didn't do anything to be booed in my opinion,” said Virat Kohli post the match.
