MELBOURNE: Former quick bowler Merv Hughes has attacked Virat Kohli, who was focused by present and previous Australian players and the media amid the simply finished up Test series, calling the Indian captain a "flog", an obviously disdainful Australian slang.

"He (Kohli) is an awesome player and he is presumably a bloke you would love to have on your side, yet watching it from far off and watching him in different hues, you simply think 'what a flagellate'," Hughes was cited by 'Every day Telegraph' as having revealed to SEN Radio.


Hughes' remarks came after a sharply battled Test series which India won 2-1 at home.

Toward the finish of the fourth and last Test in Dharamsala, which India won by eight wickets, Kohli said he no longer viewed as Australian cricketers his companions in the wake of being focused on both on and off the field by them.

Prior, Kohli had held back before calling his opponent commander Steve Smith a cheat for his 'DRS Brain Fade' minute after which an area of Australian cricketers (present and previous) alongside their media focused on the Indian captain, venturing to contrast him and dubious US president Donald Trump.

Most noticeably awful, the Cricket Australia CEO James Sutherland, in a mocking comment to a radio station, said Kohli maybe does not know how to spell "too bad".

Kohli hauled himself out of the fourth and last Test because of a shoulder harm. Hughes said both sides were most likely happier with Kohli harmed for the last Test as the star Indian batsman may have "gone over the top" had he played in Dharamsala.

"The Indians played a genuine intense brand of cricket. I think they went out in the primary Test and thought it would be a genuine bit of cake and when Australia thumped them over in that first Test coordinate, they changed their state of mind and they turned out genuine solid and Virat Kohli particularly.

"On the off chance that he is discussing the Australians playing it hard, it is somewhat tricky for me since he turned his diversion around and played that route in particularly that second Test and after that going into the third Test, it most likely was not an awful thing he was harmed in light of the fact that he may have gone over the top," said 55-year-old Hughes, who played 53 Tests and 33 ODIs in the vicinity of 1985 and 1993.
