Australia would be 'worst blokes in the world' if they celebrated like Kohli, says Langer

On day two of the first Test, Kohli was seen most pumped up during the match when Indian speedster Ishant Sharma bowled a stunner to dismiss Finch in the first over of Australia’s innings

Australia coach Justin Langer feels that while everyone's criticizing Australia team's behaviour, Kohli who is the undoubtedly most passionate on the field enthusiastically celebrates wickets without a care in the world.

On day two of the first Test against Australia in Adelaide on Friday, Kohli was seen most pumped up during the match when Indian speedster Ishant Sharma bowled a stunner to dismiss Finch in the first over of Australia’s innings.

"It's a fine line, isn't it? That's the truth of it. But I love seeing the passion," Langer said on Saturday.

Langer also played down criticism from Sachin Tendulkar, who tweeted that the defensive approach at home by the Australian batsmen is something he had never seen before. 

"The defensive mindset by the Australian batsmen at home is something I've not seen before in my experience", Tendulkar wrote.

#TeamIndia should make the most of this situation and not lose their grip. The defensive mindset by the Australian batsmen at home is something I’ve not seen before in my experience. @ashwinravi99 has been very effective and has played a role to help the team be on top, for now.

Langer advised his players not to get much affected by the criticism, and said it was a different era when Tendulkar played against Australia.

"The teams that Sachin would have played against started with Allan Border and David Boon, and Steve Waugh and Mark Waugh, and Ricky Ponting," he told Fox Sports. 

"Guys that had great Test match experience and they knew their game, were comfortable in their own skin and they knew what to expect.

"Whereas we've got a team at the moment who are very inexperienced in Test match cricket, particularly our batting side."

He added that his team was "fighting their backsides off".

"We have to be patient with them. You can't give these guys 30 or 50 matches of Test match experience. They have to earn it."

At the end of the day two of the first Test against India, Australia were 191/7, with only Travis Head saving the day for his squad in Adelaide on Friday.
