5 interactions cricketers had with spectators near the boundary
The spectators at the cricket ground cheer for their favourite team vociferously and they get animated when they see their favourite stars fielding in front of them at the boundary line. But when a player from the opposition comes to field near the boundary ropes, the spectators sometimes make life difficult for them with their constants chants and boos. They sometimes act funny too as they imitate a particular player who is fielding near the ropes.
The interactions the cricketers have with the spectators near the boundary line provide wholesome entertainment for sure. Even the commentators love that. There are some ugly incidents as well when a particular player was angered with some fans, who booed him constantly. But there are some funny moments as well. Let’s have a look at 5 instances when a player interacted with the spectators near the boundary line.
1. Virat Kohli
The poster-boy of Indian cricket has had some ugly moments with the rampaging crowd at Australia when the fans there allegedly abused him. Kohli was caught in a controversy when he reacted to the crowd by showing a disrespectful middle finger to them.
However, the darling of the Indian spectators is an inspirational figure on the cricket field and he is someone who is unapologetically patriotic in the truest sense of the word. Recently in the game against Bangladesh in the ICC T20 World Cup 2016, Kohli spurred the fans to cheer for the country instead of him, when the fans were chanting his name.
That surely was an act of patriotism and proved the fact that he plays for the name that is on front of the jersey.
