[Watch] "He's got no clue" - Virat Kohli caught on the stump mic sledging Nathan McSweeney on Day 1 of 2nd BGT 2024-25 Test
Virat Kohli is a fiery character on the field and turns into a beast mode in Tests, especially Down Under. The former captain gave his full support to Jasprit Bumrah, who dominated the new Australian opener Nathan McSweeney briefly on Day 1 of the second Test in Adelaide on Friday, December 6. Notably, Kohli is the most successful Test skipper for India.
The reaction came as McSweeney looked uncomfortable against Bumrah, who dismissed him in both innings of the first Test in Perth.
In a video shared by Star Sports on X, Kohli can be heard saying:
"He's got no clue."
Watch the clip below:
Nathan McSweeney survived the day, scoring an unbeaten 38 runs off 97 balls, including six fours. He made the most of the opportunity after being dropped cheaply by Rishabh Pant.

At the time of writing, the hosts were 86/1 at stumps, with Nathan McSweeney and Marnus Labuschagne (20 off 67) at the crease. They are trailing by 94 runs in the first innings. Jasprit Bumrah took the solitary wicket, dismissing Usman Khawaja caught behind for 13 runs.
Batting first, the tourists were bundled out for 180. Nitish Kumar Reddy starred with the bat, scoring 42 off 54 balls. KL Rahul and Shubman Gill chipped in with their 30s, while Ravichandran Ashwin and Rishabh Pant contributed in their 20s.
Mitchell Starc stole the spotlight with a six-wicket haul, while Aussie skipper Pat Cummins and Scott Boland bagged two wickets apiece.
Notably, Australia are yet to lose a pink-ball Test, with a 100 percent victory record in seven games.
Meanwhile, India are leading the five-game series 1-0 following their 295-run victory over Australia in Perth. The visitors are searching for a hat-trick of series wins Down Under after winning by 2-1 margins during the 2018/19 and 2020/21 tours.
