Virat Kohli has come out and slammed the Aussie media for comparing him to Donald Trump.

He was quick to point out that if making such remarks helped them sell news then all the best to them.
"I have always stuck by the right things. Always done the right thing, always said what I wanted to because I feel it is right. I have no regrets about it. I have nothing to go back and change. The only thing -- I am surprised so many people are getting affected by just one individual, so good luck to them. If it's selling their news, good luck to them," he said ahead of the Dharamsala Test against Australia.

If they want to write something good or bad, it’s your own personal choice. I am not going to sit here and say write good things about me or bad things about me. It’s your own choice. Everyone has their own conscience to sleep with at night and same applies for everyone," he added.
Kohli will not be playing the final match as he is yet to recover from his injury in Ranchi. Kuldeep Yadav is making his Test debut as a result.

The Australian press has been critical of Kohli particularly after the DRS controversy in Chennai. One website compared him to animals, another one accused him of hitting an Aussie official with a bottle and finally he was called the Trump of cricket.
Nice response from our skipper! Kohli's words are as deadly has his strokes off the bat.
