Australian players sucked up to Kohli to protect million-dollar IPL deals: Clarke

Michael Clarke has said Australian cricketers "sucked up" to Virat Kohli and India to protect their million-dollar IPL deals, causing Australian cricket to become "soft". "They were too scared to sledge Kohli...because they had to play with them in April," he added. "The players were like...'I'm not going to sledge Kohli...I want him to pick me for Bangalore," he added.
