Kohli himself was on the receiving finish of among the choicest abuses in the course of the 2011-12 Test sequence.

“Racial abuse is absolutely unacceptable. Having gone through many incidents of really pathetic things said on the boundary lines, this is the absolute peak of rowdy behaviour. It’s sad to see this happen on the field,” Kohli, who’s on a paternity break, tweeted.
Back in 2011, a younger Kohli was actually embroiled in an issue when when he was snapped displaying center finger to the Sydney crowd on his first tour after being frequently abused on the boundary ropes.
On Saturday and Sunday, Siraj and senior bowler Jasprit Bumrah had been allegedly subjected to a number of abuses together with racist slurs like “Brown Dog” and “Big Monkey”, which led to eviction and subsequent arrest of six Australian spectators.
“The incident needs to be looked at with absolute urgency and seriousness and strict action against the offenders should set things straight for once,” Kohli stated.
The matter is being investigated by Cricket Australia and ICC match referee David Boon is anticipated to supply full report.
