South African pacer Kagiso Rabada has always been a darling of controversies. Now during the ongoing South Africa vs Australia Test Series, Rabada couldn’t stop himself diving into problems yet again.
We are all aware how Rabada’s shoulder rub with Australia’s Steve Smith landed him into deep trouble. Later, ICC through its investigation concluded that Rabada was the only person guilty.
Following the judgement, the SAF pacer was charged with Level 2 breach of ICC’s Code of Conduct. He was given three demerit points along with a fine of 50% of his match fees and was suspended for two test matches.
Now this hasn’t gone well with former SAF cricketer Paul Harris. Angry Paul took to Twitter and defended Rabada in the controversy. But he didn’t stop there and dragged Indian skipper Virat Kohli in the controversy too.
In his tweet, Paul clearly expressed his anger over the ICC’s decision and went on to call Virat Kohli a clown. He tweeted-
If he has to then everyone does. I watched Kohli behave like a clown for three tests here in SA and nothing. Seems to me that @ICC either have an issue with Rabada or with the Proteas in general.

Virat Kohli was also charged by ICC during India vs South Africa series for repeatedly complaining to the umpires about a damp ball and then aggressively throwing it to the floor. Paul was angry because Virat was just fined 25 percent of his match fee and received one demerit point.
Take a look at some reactions-

What's with this victim mentality that the Proteas have developed. Also Kohli never celebrated right in the batsman's face or made any sought of physical contact with the opposition.
