Former Australian captain Tim Paine has made a big statement on sledging Virat Kohli. Paine says that he was fed up of hearing people’s advice not to sledge Virat.

Tim Paine says that whether Australia sledged Virat Kohli or not, he was still scoring a lot of runs. They only tried to distract Virat. The former Australian captain said, “People used to say don’t sledge Virat. Even if you don’t sledge him, he was still scoring good runs consistently. So it doesn’t matter whether you are sledging him or not.”
