Last Updated 24 December 2014, 04:35 IST

Indian cricketers Virat Kohli and Shikhar Dhawan picked up a fight and created unrest in the dressing room during the test match against Australia in Gabba.

Kohli, who had to replace Shikhar at the last minute, complaint that he couldn't perform well as he was not well prepared to bat at that time.

Shikhar's last minute declaration to the authorities that he couldn't bat starightaway, had left Kohli with no other option.

Shikhar Dhawan citied that he suffered from a wrist injury while practising on the uneven pitch and thus, he was not fit to play.

However, Kohli felt that Shikhar was lying as he didn't want to face the energy packed Australian bowlers in the very begining of the match.

After being bowled out by Mitchell Johnson for 1 in the Brisbane test, Kohli couldn't get a hold of himself and blamed Shikhar for his bad performance.

Ravi Shastri, the team director, had to step in to resolve the matter. He stated that all the players should be well prepared to bat whenever an emergency arises.

The bickering between the players would not have surfaced if Mahendra Singh Dhoni hadn't mentioned about it in his conversation after the match.
