In a country of 1.2 billion, one person`s views don`t matter: Virat Kohli on Ian Healy`s `losing respect` jibe

Kohli referred to the third Test between South Africa and Australia in 1997 at Centurion, to hit back at Healy for criticism over his behaviour on field.

New Delhi: Indian skipper Virat Kohli gave a brilliant response to former Australia wicketkeeper Ian Healy's criticism of his apparent sledging in the on-going India – Australia seires.

Healy, on Sunday had called Kohli's behaviour on field as "unacceptable" and said that he needs to show more respect on the field.

"I'm losing respect for him. He's not only now continuing his disrespect of the Australian players and umpires, but I think he's putting pressure on his own players," Healy told radio station SEN on Monday.

"The stuff he did with Steve Smith was unacceptable.

"There's massive cracks showing in (Kohli).

"I've said in the past he's the best batsman I've ever seen. His feistiness and real aggression towards the opposition has been good (in the past), especially when he wasn't captain.

"Kohli's aggression was good for them, but I think it's not good for them any more."

Responding to the Aussie great's comments Kohli hit back at the Australian by citing an infamous moment of 1997, when a furious Healy gestured to the crowd before hurling his bat on return to the dressing room at Centurion Park.

"We`ve got 1.2 billion people in India, one person doesn`t make a difference to my life. Also you need to go and search on YouTube when he was given out down the leg side," Kohli said, on being asked about Healy in the post-match conference.

"I heard he said something about me not having good behaviour with the umpires. I think you all should YouTube that video and I think that says it all," the 28-year-old added.

The 28-year-old Virat was referring to third Test between South Africa and Australia in 1997 at Centurion, which the hosts won by 8 wickets.
