Annoyed by crowd taunts, young India cricketer Virat Kohli yesterday showed his middle finger to a section of the crowd at the SCG during the second Test and may face disciplinary action for the gesture.

Kohli was photographed raising his middle finger towards the spectators. Kohli, however, justified his act on his twitter account after the second day's play. "I agree cricketers don't have to retaliate. What when the crowd says the worst things about your mother and sister. the worst I've heard," tweeted Kohli.
