Ex-Australia cricketer Joe Burns recalled how Virat Kohli responded when he tried sledging him during India's 2014 tour of Australia. "I [told] Kohli, 'You got to play some shots'...He...turned to me and said, 'You don't talk, rookie'. Next ball he faced up, smacked it through covers," he said. Burns stated the incident showed him Kohli wasn't someone to mess with.
