The former West Indies fast bowler Tino Best is not happy with the way the English media has been talking and writing about the on-field behavior of Virat Kohli in the Edgbaston test match which India lost.
Not only the English fans, but the English pundits also criticized Virat heavily for sledding Jonny Bairstow on the third day of the game when Bairstow was not comfortable at the crease against the Indian fast bowlers.
Virat Kohli, however, continued with his aggression despite the criticism in the second innings. When the England opener Alex Lees was run out and England lost their third wicket within two overs in the latter stages of day 4, Virat celebrated with animated expressions.
One of the famous English journalists, George Dobell, shared a picture of Virat Kohli when he was celebrating the wicket of Alex Lees and Virat, at the time the picture was taken, was running right in the middle of the pitch, probably unintentionally and in the heat of the moment.
Tino Best was a fiesty cricketer during his time himself
Dobell took a bit of a dig at Virat by captioning the picture “Interesting place to celebrate the wicket of Alex Lees”. Tino Best, who was a very fiesty cricketer during his time himself, didn’t like this unnecessary dig at Virat by an English journalist.
Best got back at Dobell saying that he has noticed whenever a non-English cricketer tries to be a bit bold in England and tries to challenge the English on their own turf, the English people don’t quite like it and he is now fed up of English media talking “crap” about Virat all the time.
Bro y’all Reaching Now FFS 🤦🏾♂️, …… anyone who’s BOLD and brown or black y’all always got a Dammmm problem with anyone who challenges y’all its an issue, I’m tired 🥱 of reading the English press talk crap about Virat or any player who isn’t English .

Dobell, in response to Best’s tweet, however, justified himself and said that he didn’t mean it in the way Best thought he did.
Tino Best has had his fair share of confrontations with English cricketers in the past himself. One of his confrontations with Andrew Flintoff is still etched on the minds of English fans.
