Following the intense on-field confrontation between Virat Kohli and Nandre Burger during the ongoing second Test match at Newlands, Cape Town, fans of the Indian cricket captain took to Instagram to express their displeasure
The abusive comments targeted not only Burger but also his girlfriend. When Virat Kohli stepped in to bat after Rohit Sharmaโs dismissal, he initially played defensively in response to Burgerโs aggression.

Kohliโs Fans Abused Burger
However, Kohli quickly turned the tables by hitting two consecutive boundaries. Despite Kohliโs on-field success, his fans were evidently upset with Burgerโs behavior, leading to offensive comments on Burgerโs Instagram posts.
In the first Test, Team India took control by bowling out South Africa for just 55 runs, with Mohammed Siraj achieving a remarkable six-wicket haul.
Chasing the modest target, Rohit Sharma contributed 39 runs, while Yashasvi Jaiswal failed to score. Shubman Gill showed promise with 36 runs, but both he and Shreyas Iyer, who scored a duck, couldn’t capitalize.
Currently, Virat Kohli and KL Rahul aim to build a partnership to extend Indiaโs lead against the Proteas. Earlier, Burger and Kohli had grabbed headlines for their on-field aggression during Day 1 of the first Test.
Morphed Image
A viral photo on social media falsely claimed that Burger apologized to Kohli by touching his feet, but later reports debunked it as a morphed image.
Despite the heated moments on the field, there were instances of sportsmanship, such as Virat Kohli giving a high-five to Nandre Burger for his impressive bowling performance in the second session.
Burger proved to be one of the Proteasโ standout bowlers, claiming three crucial wickets, including those of Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, and Shreyas Iyer, who failed to score.
Whoโs Nandre Burgerโs Girlfriend
Ashleigh McDonald, the girlfriend of Nandre Burger, has become widely known as the couple recently made their relationship public. Their affection for each other is frequently showcased through shared photos on Instagram.
An accomplished architect, Ashh McDonald, revels in the art of designing beautiful structures. In terms of physical stature, Nandre Burger stands notably taller than McDonald. Ashh is currently estimated to be between 22 and 25 years old.
