Virat Kohli was reportedly involved in a heated exchange with Australian media on arrival at Melbourne airport on Friday.
The Indian batting star and former captain was upset as he felt he and his children were being filmed without his consent. He lost his cool and got into an altercation with an Australian journalist.
According to a Channel 7 report, Kohli, who got to Melbourne for next week's Boxing Day Test at the MCG, had a heated argument with the journalist after seeing video cameras pointed towards his kids.
"It was upon seeing the waiting cameras that Kohli became a little heated over what is largely a misunderstanding when he thought the media was filming him with his children," Channel 7 reporter Theo Doropoulos said.
The report said Kohli later cleared the air, saying: "With my kids I need some privacy; you just can't film without asking me."
