Kohli was photographed raising his middle finger as India struggled to contain Ricky Ponting and Michael Clarke during the course of their 288-run stand.

Team India Management has passed on strict instructions to the players to avoid social networking like, using Face book or Twitter to interact or voice their opinion, which might lead to unnecessary controversies like the one that had happened between the two countries in 2007-08 series.

The middle finger crisis led to much bigger controversies and India’s ace batsman Virat kohli had tweeted: `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.’ In fact he was fined, 50% of his match fee by the ICC match referee Ranjan Madugalle for the gesture. But the worst was in store for the Delhite from many tweetes that followed from the players across and tweeters too. The worst was from England batting star Kevin Pietersen, who tweeted: "Ha ha ha ha ha!!! Welcome to Australia buddy!!" Kohli instantly replied, `Never heard crap like that. EVER.’ This unwanted controversial interaction was to be eliminated from the Managements point of view.

The team management felt that such controversies play on the psych and better if avoided. But now the question is 1) Was Kohli wrong? 2) Because we back home give respect to all and expect the same – is this underlying philosophy wrong? 3) Are all people, not guided at home, the way we are advised by our elders to control our speech in any adverse situation or rather about emotional balance? 4) Should we be at the taking end always? 5) Should natural human reaction to abuse, be curtailed beyond one’s tolerance?
