Virat Kohli called it the "absolute peak of rowdy behaviour" that few Australian fans hurled racial slur at Mohammed Siraj during the third Test as the India captain demanded stern action against the offenders. Kohli himself was at the receiving end of some of the choicest abuses during the 2011-12 Test series. "Racial abuse is absolutely unacceptable.

Having gone through many incidents of really pathetic things said on the boundary lines, this is the absolute peak of rowdy behaviour. It`s sad to see this happen on the field," Kohli, who is on a paternity break, tweeted. Back in 2011, a young Kohli was in fact embroiled in a controversy when he was snapped showing middle finger to the Sydney crowd on his first tour after being continually abused at the boundary ropes. The legendary Sachin Tendulkar also condemned the incident.
