I wanted to pick up the stump and stab Virat Kohli: Ed Cowan

In the recently concluded Test series between India and Australia, both the teams got involved in lots of sledging and banter, and Indian captain Virat Kohli at the forefront of pretty much everything. It can be said that it was one of the most intense but bitterly-fought series in recent years.

Australian cricketer Ed Cowan, while speaking to Fox Sports, recalled a moment when he felt like stabbing Indian captain Virat Kohli with a stump. Cowan said that once Virat said something very inappropriate about his sick mother during a Test match and it made him very angry.

“I had a very sick Mum during one of those series and he said something that was inappropriate,” Ed Cowan was quoted as saying by Fox Sports. 

“Why I make the point of ‘lost in translation’, he said something that was highly inappropriate. A personal matter that was highly sensitive. Highly inappropriate. But he didn’t realise that he’d overstepped the mark until the umpire came over and said ‘Virat that’s overstepped the mark’ and once that was said, he took a step back and apologised.

“But, there was a moment I wanted to pick up the stump and stab him.”

Cowan also said that Kohli is a phenomenal cricketer and he is a huge of his cricket, but he chose very inappropriate words against Cowan when toured Australia. 

“I’m a huge fan of his cricket. Don’t get me wrong he’s a phenomenal cricketer.

“I had a little bit of a run-in that was inappropriate when he toured Australia and the umpire had to intervene.

“We forget that English isn’t their first language. It’s very easy to sit back and say as a player they’re barking something at me that is inappropriate when we don’t try and converse with them in Hindi.”
