Michael Clarke Girlfriend Controversy: India and Australia are face to face again after 6 years to play ODI in Adelaide. Adelaide is called the hunting ground of Virat Kohli. Meaning, whenever he has played here, most of the times he has scored runs from his bat. But, he is not the highest run scorer in Adelaide in ODIs. In fact, the player who has scored the most runs on this ground is former Australian captain Michael Clarke, who was publicly humiliated by his girlfriend two years ago.

Most runs in Adelaide in ODI

Michael Clarke has scored 626 runs at an average of 52.16 with 1 century and 3 half-centuries in 15 innings of 16 ODIs played in Adelaide. If the former captain of Australia has scored the most runs in ODIs in Adelaide compared to any other batsman, then he is also at third place in terms of most runs in the Tests played here. Clarke has scored 1414 runs in 17 innings of 10 matches at a strong average of 94.26 at the Adelaide Ground. Only Ponting and Allan Border have more Test runs in Adelaide than Clarke.

Why did the girlfriend insult Clark?

Now the question is, why did the girlfriend of the player who scored the most ODI runs in Adelaide publicly insult him? Meaning, why did Clark have to face such a day at the hands of his girlfriend? So this happened when Michael Clarke and his girlfriend Jade Yabro were vacationing in Noosa, Queensland. Clark's girlfriend slapped him publicly, the video of which also went viral on social media.

It was clear from the 3-minute blurry video, filmed some distance from the incident site, that Clark's girlfriend Jade Yabro was accusing him of cheating. However, Clarke was refusing to accept those allegations. It was clear from Jade Yabro's words in that video that went viral that Michael Clarke was in an affair with his ex-girlfriend Pip Edwards.

Police had imposed fine

After The Daily Telegraph brought out that video, Queensland Police also fined Michael Clarke and Jade Yabro. Queensland Police had fined both of them for creating disturbance in a public place.
