Virat Kohli vs Travis Head controversy takes a new turn as Aakash Chopra leaves ‘hypocritical’ comment

The controversial moment between Travis Head and Virat Kohli is still alive in the discussions among the cricket world. After Head’s wife, former Team India batsman and now commentator and cricket expert Aakash Chopra expressed his opinion on this issue.

Travis Head’s wife Jessica Head claimed that she had a horrible experience on the social media platform as some netizens sent abusive messages to her and her relatives and friends. There were also threatening messages targeting the Australian cricketer’s daughter.

Jessica further claimed in the interview that this is not the first time that she has faced such a situation on a social media platform. According to him, when Australia defeated India in the final of the 2023 ODI World Cup and on some other occasions also when Australia dominated the Indian cricket team, some fans crossed the limits.

“It feels like a repeat of the abuse that happened after the World Cup. I woke up to my social media exploding… we’re OK, but they’re attacking my friends and family,” Jessica told The Advertiser.

Jessica’s advice for fans

Head’s wife reminded every cricket fan that it is true that cricket has passion and emotions, but it is important to keep in mind that after the game, cricketers also have their own families. Jessica urged everyone to be polite when talking to another person.

“I think there are important conversations happening right now in all sports around mental health, perspective and how to talk to each other,” he said. “Passion will always be part of the game, but we also have to remember that behind the game are real people and families.”

Aakash Chopra also did not back down in the Virat Kohli vs Travis Head controversy

Aakash Chopra is not as humble as Jessica Head. Chopra uses full, clear words to criticize those who abused Travis Head and his family members due to a heated moment with Virat Kohli during the Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bangalore match.

“People who abuse wives…children…are the worst kind of scoundrels,” Chopra wrote on X.

People who abuse wives…children…are the lowest kind of scoundrels.

Those same despicable people will not tolerate even the slightest criticism about themselves or their ideals. Hypocrite.

Last week, for a group match of the ongoing IPL 2026 season, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Royal Challengers Bangalore were up against each other. In the second innings, when Virat Kohli was at the crease and batting, there was some altercation between them, which was not considered very pleasant. It is not clear what exactly they said to each other at that time, but it is clear that neither cricketer liked it.

The atmosphere remained heated even after the match when players gathered on the field to congratulate each other. According to the footage, Travis Head went to shake hands with Virat Kohli, but Virat was seen avoiding shaking hands with Head and went on the field to greet the other players.
