A quality cricket match is no less than a theatrical experience. Whenever India have toured down under in the past six years, the competition has been top-notch and the passionate fans at the MCG felt the heat of the rivalry as they engaged in huge roars as Virat Kohli walked out to bat.

In reply to Australia's 474 runs first innings total, India got off to a poor start as Rohit Sharma perished early, courtesy of a false shot induced by Pat Cummins. However, Yashasvi Jaiswal was smooth with his strokeplay along with KL Rahul. But Cummins' disciplined bowling earned the scalp of Rahul, making way for Virat Kohli. As the former Indian captain arrived at the crease, the MCG crowd seemed divided, prompting a fan war between India and Australian fans.   

Having faced six deliveries and already opened the account, Kohli tried to set himself up for scoring options against Scott Boland. This is when the camera captured the sea of fans at the MCG divided. The Indian group at one end cheered for Kohli who was on strike while the home fans responded with huge boos at the Indian captain. Seeing the contest delve beyond bat and ball, the Twitterverse didn't hesitate to take a leaf out of the intense actions.
