During a special conversation with Geo Cinema on this incident, Swan said, ‘If there are no conflicts in the game, it will become boring. I have played many Ashes series in my life and this is nothing in comparison to them.

After this incident during the match, Kohli and Gambhir were fined 100 per cent of their match fees. Swann believes that there is nothing wrong with Kohli being overly aggressive and he is known for his passion for the game.

The former cricketer said, ‘You should not change the players so much that they cannot play with passion. Virat Kohli is Kohli because he plays with a lot of passion. Many players are scared of him. Some say that he is very aggressive. Gambhir and Virat have been playing together and all this happens on the field.

He further said, ‘Everything is fine till shaking hands with each other after the match. This should not result in a bad image on the screen. I have no problem with his passion. (with language input)
