What Kohli did was the right thing to do and he was trying to stop your crowd from causing embarrassment to India.
Fan's of every nationality in every Australian match in the WC have boo'ed Smith and Warner. Fans dislike the systemic cheating introduced by Smith/Warner. They were calling a cheat a cheater. Nothing embarrassing there!
Australian crowds love to boo as well but when a visiting villain scores a 100 or takes 5 wickets they'll still get a standing ovation.
I am sure that the majority of Australian(or any other nationality) fans are decent and will give a standing ovation to visiting players for great plays. That being said, the recent racist incidents by fans against non-white players are in Australia. For example the India Boxing day match in 2018. Here is an Australian site since you might not believe an Indian one.

Any proof of this or is it one of your made up statistics like the one on pitches?
Now, no country receives as many admonishments from the ICC as India when it comes to preparing pitches rated by match officials as "poor". When games get abandoned because of pitch doctoring, it goes well beyond "making pitches that suit the home team".
I call BS on this. Are you pulling statistics out of thin air?
Here are the list of pitches and ratings they got from the ICC web site sorted from most recent to the oldest (October 2017).
https://www.icc-cricket.com/about/cricket/rules-and-regulations/pitch-ratingsThere are at least 5 Australian venues with Average rating before you find the first Indian one with an Average. The Indian pitches got Good or Very Good (top two ratings) for the Australia trip.
Melbourne had a Poor rating for the Boxing test against England, but there are no Indian pitches with a Poor rating.
As to vicious sledging, should I not mention Harbajan Singh and the monkey slur against Andrew Symonds? That is just the one that got the headlines. Please don't fall into the trap of believing India are innocent saints at all times.
Sorry, Harbhajan did not call Symonds a monkey. Harbhajan barely speaks English, he was cursing Symonds out in Hindi. He said, "Maaki ch**t" which means "your mothers c**t". "Maaki" sounds like "monkey". And BTW, calling anyone a monkey is not racist in India and would be a pathetic sledge by an Indian. It is commonly used to describe a mischevious child. But the phrase he used is fighting words in India, and I do not condone it. Players need to play and stop sledging!
My apologies to the other members on this thread. I did not wish to disrupt this thread with this acrimonious discussion. I did not start this, but I refuse to lie down and take slurs against India.
