Here's what was said during Virat Kohli-Matthew Wade's heated feud at Eden Gardens

This incident took place when Kohli took sIngle when ball had hit Wade and injured his hand.

Kolkata: Team India and Australia's on-field rivalry has only heated up when players from both the teams have faced each other in high profile series. Players from both the sides are not shy of sledging each other when it matters the most.

In the second ODI between India and Australia at Eden Gardens, Australian Wicket-keeper Matthew Wade tried to sledge Indian skipper Virat Kohli .

During the 33rd over of the Indian innings, a delivery hit Wade on the hand and he winced in pain, where he was unable to collect the ball as it went away from him. Kohli and Kedar Jadhav who were at crease took a single and that is when Wade lost his cool.

Wade then tried to sledge the Indian skipper for his poor sportsman spirit, which was recorded on the mic.

“I might have a cry like you. I might go to the dressing rooms and have a good cry like you. Everyone has to feel sorry for you,” he added while passing near Kohli during the change of the ends.

The climate during the Kolkata ODI was harsh on Australian players, as heat and humidity got the better of them. Wade also suffered due to climate and needed medical attention during the match as he was feeling unwell.

After Wade vented his frustration, it was time for Kohli to gave it back to the Australian wicketkeeper, but his words were inaudible. Marcus Stoinis who was bowling during the incident also tried getting under the Indian skipper's skin, using Wade as a shield.
