Australian reporter of Nine Sports, Tony Jones, during his latest interview, lashed out at Virat Kohli and labelled him as ‘Bully’ due to his rude behaviour with a female journalist at the airport after misunderstanding that she was secretly filming his kids, citing privacy concerns.
Over the years, we have seen Virat and Anushka being furious if someone would try to click the kids' photos, and eventually, the paps started respecting what they requested. Recently, Jones talked on the radio channel 3AW Melbourne, wherein he stated that Virat took umbrage at the fact that the cameras are always focused on him, which is pretty expected, given he is a batting superstar. Tony Jones mentioned that Virat actually takes offence if he is being clicked. Explaining what happened, Tony Jones stated: "Nat was out there with a cameraman, a Channel 7 reporter was out there with his cameraman and they were doing what we do on a daily basis essentially, and that’s be at the airport to actually get identities, whether they’re politicians, whether they’re sporting identities or whatever. He took umbrage, he being Virat Kohli, to the fact the cameras were focused on him. Well duh! You’re a batting superstar, you’re a global superstar in the world of cricket, and he takes umbrage to the fact that the attention is focused on him.

Tony Jones stated how surprising it was when the female journalist Nat Yoannidis was confronted and berated by Kohli. He called Virat a bully and shared: "What really got my back up when I saw the footage was that he turned around to the three blokes, the two cameramen and the reporter from Channel 7, and said you guys are OK, it’s her. Really? Big tough man, Virat. And then he stood over this girl, Nat Yoannidis, who’s about five foot one, five foot two, and just absolutely berated her. You’re nothing but a bully, Virat."
