In response to the booing, Kohli turned around and walked back after entering the MCG tunnel, having stared down at those jeering him. The situation was diffused by an MCG security team member, who arrived on scene and escorted Kohli through the tunnel. A video capturing this incident has since gone viral on social media platforms.
