VIRAT Kohli Vs SAM Konstat: The Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground turned fiery during the morning session as Virat Kohli and debutant Sam Konstas found themselves in a mid-pitch showdown. The clash unfolded in the 10th over when Kohli, with the ball in hand, and Konstas, walking from the crease, bumped shoulders unexpectedly.
Both players stopped in their tracks, turning back to exchange sharp words. It wasn’t long before Usman Khawaja, Konstas’ opening partner, stepped in to defuse the tension, putting a calming arm around Kohli. Although the argument didn’t last long, it was enough to set the tone for a charged session.

Replays added layers to the drama, revealing Kohli straying far from his position on the field and walking into Konstas’ path. Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting didn't hold back, providing commentary on Channel 7. “Virat walked one whole pitch over to his right and instigated that confrontation. No doubt in my mind,” he remarked, suggesting Kohli deliberately sought the encounter.
Sam Konstas, later reflecting on the incident with Channel 7, dismissed it as a heat-of-the-moment scuffle. “I didn’t even realize it was happening at first,” said the 19-year-old. “I was adjusting my gloves, and then there was this shoulder bump. These things happen in cricket, though.”
The fiery exchange also drew comments from umpiring legend Simon Taufel, who pointed out that the collision might fall under “inappropriate physical contact” as per the ICC Code of Conduct. “Virat clearly changed his line and entered Sam’s personal space. This will likely be reviewed after play,” Taufel explained.
Even Indian legend Sunil Gavaskar weighed in, saying, “These things are avoidable. It’s like walking down a crowded street—you see someone coming, and you just sidestep. It doesn’t make you any smaller. We don’t want this on the cricket field.” Gavaskar also speculated that fines could be in order, depending on how the match officials interpreted the footage.
Despite the confrontation, Konstas made a memorable Test debut. After a slow start, he unleashed a dazzling counterattack, reverse-scooping Jasprit Bumrah for a six over slips and later pulling off a more traditional scoop for four. His audacity shook the Indian bowling attack, and he raced to 60 runs off just 65 balls before Ravindra Jadeja trapped him lbw before lunch.
As tensions simmered on and off the field, the incident between Kohli and Konstas became the highlight of the day’s play. While debates raged over whether Kohli crossed the line, the focus ultimately shifted back to the young Australian, who showed remarkable poise and skill under pressure, making his mark in one of cricket’s most iconic rivalries.

IND vs AUS 4th Test: Day 1 of the Boxing Day Test between Australia and India at the Melbourne Cricket Stadium has ended. The hosts won the toss and elected to bat first. The Australian top order made the decision right, as all four top players scored a fifty each. Australia were looking to get to a big score at 237/3 when India pulled things back with some wickets.
Jasprit Bumrah once again was the pick of the bowlers, who took 3/75, while Akashdeep, Ravindra Jadeja, and Washington Sundar took one wicket each. Steve Smith and Pat Cummins (8*) are unbeaten at the stumps. Smith is looking good for another century as he has scored 68 not out from 111 balls.
It won't be wrong to say that the first day belongs to the hosts. It started with some positive batting from the 19-year-old debutant Sam Konstas. He slammed a debut fifty. He made 60 off 65 balls, with six fours and two sixes, and took on Bumrah. That's when there was an ugly altercation captured between him and former Indian captain Virat Kohli on the field.
<h2>IND vs AUS 4th Test: Virat Kohli fined 20 percent of his match fee for his physical altercation with Sam Konstas at MCG</h2>
The former Indian captain collided with Konstas in the middle, which saw the two engaging in a heated exchange at the pitch. Usman Khawaja had to intervene, putting his hands on the shoulders of Virat with a smile and separating the two. Notably, inappropriate physical contact with a player, umpire, player personnel, or match referee comes under Law 2.12.
As a result, Virat Kohli has been fined for his action on the field. The former captain has admitted his action and has been punished with 20 percent of his match fee. Some reports even claimed that Virat might have to suffer a ban, but he ended with a match fee deduction.
For the visitors, who are already struggling, this is a blow, but they would be happy that there is no ban for Virat. Speaking of the game, Australia finished the day with 311/6. Usman Khawaja (57) and Marnus Labuschagne (72) also made half-centuries. Travis Head was bowled for a duck by Bumrah.

Big Blow for India: Virat Kohli suffered punishment for his physical altercation with Australia debutant Sam Konstas at the MCG

In the currently ongoing fourth Test-Match of the 2024-25 Border Gavaskar Trophy between Australia and India in Melbourne, elite Indian batter Virat Kohli collided with 19-year-old Australian debutant Sam Konstas. A video of this incident is going viral on social media platforms. 
A heated argument took place between the two players on the field and the umpires were forced to intervene and cool down the situation. But the question which arises is, will the ICC suspend Kohli from participating in the final Border-Gavaskar Trophy match? In this article, we will be taking a look at the ICC rule under which the former Indian skipper can be proven guilty. 
<h2>What exactly happened on the field in Melbourne? </h2>
First of all, let's know what exactly happened on the field. Indian vice-captain Jasprit Bumrah was bowling the 11th over of the match and debutant Sam Konstas was hitting big shots constantly off the bowling of Mohammed Siraj and even Bumrah himself. 
Watch the full video here- <a href="https://x.com/mufaddal_vohra/status/1872075886947881321" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Virat Kohli vs Sam Konstas</a>
In such a situation, during the 11th over while cleaning the ball, Kohli was moving towards Konstas and at that point of time, both of them collided with each other as the former Indian skipper clashed his shoulder with the youngster. On watching the video carefully, it can be seen that Virat did the shoulder clash on purpose with the 19-year-old.
<h2>What do the rules of ICC say? </h2>
According to the rulebook of the ICC, article 2.1 states that a player can be punished if he gets involved in inappropriate physical-contact with a opposition player, support staff of the players, match-referee, umpires or any other person on the Cricket field. 
Such incidents have happened before in the past and considering the history of such incidents, Virat will not be getting harsh punishment like a one-match suspension or ban. However, the match-referee can definitely give the 35-year-old a demerit point and a deduction in his match-fee as a punishment.

In ongoing Boxing-Day Test between Australia and India, a heated moment took place on the field as experienced Indian player Virat Kohli got involved in a shoulder clash with 19-year-old Australian debutant Sam Konstas. We will take a look at whether ICC can suspend Kohli or not for this incident.

Will ICC suspend Virat Kohli from playing in the final BGT Test match for clashing with Sam Konstas in Melbourne?

Day 1 of the Boxing Day Test between India and Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground was full of action. The day ended with Australia on top, but it was Virat Kohli and the debutant who gathered the headlines. All Australian and Indian media are talking about the incident that happened during the morning session.
It was Virat Kohli who bumped into Sam Konstas, and both were seen exchanging words on the field. Usman Khawaja and the umpires had to intervene to settle the matter. But both players were looking at each other. That physical altercation also saw Virat getting punished. He was fined 20 percent of his match fee and was given one demerit point.
<h2>What is Virat Kohli's salary, and how much will he get after a 20 percent deduction?</h2>
The cricket world is talking about the incident, and everyone has their opinion. Virat admitted and accepted his action. As a result, he was fined 20 percent of his match fee. But how much will be deducted from his salary? What will he get after deduction? We will talk about it here.
Notably, Virat Kohli is a top-grade Indian cricketer who falls in the A category. However, the grade doesn't decide the match fee. For an Indian cricketer, playing a test match, the fee is INR 15 lakhs. That means Virat will earn INR 15 lac from the ongoing test as the match fee.
As he has been fined 20 percent of the match fee, that means INR 3 lakh will be deducted from his salary as a penalty. After deduction, he will be getting INR 12 lacs. But as per the new incentive schemes for the Indian players by the BCCI, all players who play 75 percent of the test matches a year will get an additional INR 30 lacs per match as an incentive.
But Virat missed the five-match home test series against England earlier this year. He has featured in ten games out of 15 India played in 2024. That means he won't feature in that 75-percent category and won't get added INR 30 lac schemes. Speaking of the game, Australia finished the day at 311/6. Their top four all made half-centuries. For India, Jasprit Bumrah took three wickets.

Australia batter Sam Konstas opened up about his fight with Virat Kohli during Day 1 of the ongoing fourth Test against India, which is taking place at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne. He said that he was doing his gloves and the senior batter accidentally bumped him. 
The Boxing Day Test between India and Australia started on a high note as day one of the game witnessed an enthralling day of cricket. Not only this, the tensions were high as well as Indian players had their go at the Australian players, and it lifted the crowds. 
One of the highlights of Day 1 came between Virat Kohli and Sam Konstas. The two were engaged in a heated argument in the first session of the day. It was then the Australian debutant started taking attacks on the Indian bowlers and slammed them all over the park. 
Sam Konstas, in particular, slammed Jasprit Bumrah all over the park. He played unorthodox shots and reversed-scooped him for six. While the battle between pacers and batter was going high, Virat Kohli was having a go at a batter behind the stumps. 
But the tensions flared up after the 10th over of the innings. After the over ended, Virat Kohli and Sam Konstas bumped shoulders while moving across the pitch between overs. Immediately after that, they shared a heated exchange of words before Usman Khawaja and umpire Michael Gough interrupted to separate the batters. 
<h2>"I was just doing my gloves. I think he accidentally bumped me - Sam Konstas on fight with Virat Kohli</h2>
This became a massive headline, but Australia batter Sam Konstas has now opened up about the entire incident. He said that Virat Kohli accidentally bumped him but mentioned that he, too, was trying to get into the contest. 
Sam Konstas revealed that he was trying to bring out the best version of himself. He feels that things getting heated up brought the best out of him, and he wants to carry on the confidence in the second innings. Speaking to reporters, he explained: 
"I was just doing my gloves. I think he accidentally bumped me. I think that's just cricket, just the tension. For me, I was just trying to get into the contest. 
"I was just trying to bring the best version of myself against whoever I was facing. It got heated at times, but that's good for me. I feel it brings the best out of me. Hopefully, it carries on in the next innings.". 
Konstas was the shining light for Australia on Day 1. The batter played aggressively and scored 60 runs off 65 balls, which ensured Australia got off to a brutal start with the bat.

IND vs AUS DAY 2: Australia continued from their strong overnight score of 311/6 and completely dominated India in the first session of the day. Australia crushed India’s bowling, scoring 474 with Smith’s brilliant 140. India now faces a tough challenge on a tricky pitch.
Here’s how the action unfolded on Day 2:
<h2>Session 1: Australia Tightens the Grip</h2>
It was all about Australia in the morning session. In just 27 overs, they smashed 143 runs and lost only one wicket. India’s bowlers looked clueless as the Aussies made merry. Akash Deep, who shone yesterday, had a rough time today, giving away runs, while Jasprit Bumrah kept toiling but couldn’t find the breakthrough early on.
Steve Smith, looking every bit like the run-machine he is, played with ease and elegance. He kept the scoreboard ticking with clever singles and sharp boundaries, leaving no scoring chance behind. Meanwhile, Pat Cummins supported him brilliantly, finding the ropes regularly and frustrating the Indian bowlers.
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202412/image_430x256_676e141bad740.jpg" alt="">
The big moment came when Smith brought up his fifth Test century at the iconic MCG. The 112-run partnership between Smith and Cummins left India reeling. Cummins eventually fell to Ravindra Jadeja, trying to attack, but by then, the damage was done. India’s bowlers seemed tired and out of ideas, with their short-ball strategy failing on a pitch that wasn’t offering much pace or bounce.
<h2>Session 2: India Strikes Back, But Australia Posts a Mammoth Total</h2>
After lunch, India finally had something to cheer about. Ravindra Jadeja struck early, dismissing Mitchell Starc, and the very next ball saw the end of the brilliant Steve Smith, who was trapped on 140. It was a knock that reminded everyone why Smith is considered one of the best in the world—two centuries in two matches, first in Brisbane and now here at the MCG.
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202412/image_430x256_676e1417aedc4.jpg" alt="">
Jasprit Bumrah then wrapped things up, dismissing Nathan Lyon, but not before Lyon and Scott Boland added 19 valuable runs for the last wicket. Australia finished their innings with a massive 474 runs on the board.
<h2>Australia’s Commanding Total</h2>
474 runs is a huge score on this pitch. With the surface offering something for both pacers and spinners, it’s going to be a big test for the Indian batters.
The foundation of this innings was laid by debutant Sam Konstas’ brilliant knock on Day 1, followed by good and moving innings from Manus, Khwaja, Carey, and not to mention a masterclass from Steve Smith today. His knock had shades of his golden form from 2019, leaving the Indian bowlers scratching their heads.
India’s bowling attack had very few bright spots. Bumrah was once again the standout, fighting hard to contain the Aussie batters. Jadeja kept things steady, but Akash Deep struggled to replicate his heroics from yesterday.
Can India’s batters rise to the occasion and fight back, or will this Australian total prove too much to handle? The challenge is massive, and the MCG is set for another gripping chapter in this Test series!

Australia dominated on Day 2, piling up 474 runs with Steve Smith’s masterful century. India’s bowlers struggled, while brief resistance from Bumrah and Jadeja couldn’t stop the Aussie charge on a challenging pitch.

Steve Smith’s century and Australia’s 474-run total leave India facing an uphill battle on a pitch favoring both spinners and pacers.

India fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah has dropped a bombshell statement about his battle with Australia batter Sam Konstas. He said that the batter was interesting, and he was enjoying the battle and is looking forward to the next innings of the match. 
Jasprit Bumrah, who has been the best bowler for India in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, was made look clueless by the 19-year-old Sam Konstas. The Australia debutant tackled the 'Bumrah' challenge brilliantly as, according to him, the attack was the best option to counter his challenge.
Sam Konstas brought his T20 style in the Tests as he hit Jasprit Bumrah for sixes and boundaries all over the park. It wasn't conventional shots but the batter was at his unorthodox best as he played reverse scoops and hit the fast bowler for runs all over the park. 
Jasprit Bumrah was hit for two sixes by Sam Konstas and it marked the first instance since 2018 when the fast bowler was hit for two sixes in the match. The pacer was taken out of attack in the first spell till the time the batter was back in the hut. 
<h2>He is an interesting batter - I always felt, I was in the game, some days, it pays off - Jasprit Bumrah on his battle with Sam Konstas </h2>
Talking about his battle with Sam Konstas, Jasprit Bumrah claimed that he has experienced a lot in his career and while calling the batter interesting batter, he said that he felt he was always in the game. He also stressed that when the batter fails, he will be criticised a lot. Speaking to 7 Cricket, he explained: 
"I have experienced a lot - played T20I cricket for more than 12 years - He is an interesting batter - I always felt, I was in the game, some days, it pays off, it looks good - some days, it won't and you guys will be criticizing the same person - I love different challenges and looking forward to new challenges". 
Sam Konstas raced away to his half-century in the game and ended with an inning of 60 runs. He set a great platform for the Australia team which allowed them to post a massive first innings total of 474 runs on the board. 
Jasprit Bumrah, on the other picked a four-wicket haul and gave away 99 runs. This was the first time in his career that he was taken for this many runs. He would be looking for a strong response in the second innings.

Australia Cricket Team has made a massive class ahead of the first Test against Sri Lanka. Middle-order batter Travis Head is all set to open the innings for the team in the first match, which will begin on 29th January at the Galle International Stadium in Galle. 
Travis Head opening the innings alongside Usman Khawaja comes as a massive surprise, especially with Sam Konstas also in the team. The young batter set the stage on fire in the last series against India while opening and earned a lot of praise from the fans. 
This, however, won't be the first time that Travis Head will open the innings for Australia in Tests. During the India tour in 2023, the batter was promoted up the order after David Warner faced injury and he aced the challenge, putting Indian bowlers under pressure right from the start. 
Travis Head batted in three innings at the top and averaged 55.75. He will be handy for the team in the series, and with him being an attacking player, it is likely that he will take attack to the bowlers right from the start and is expected to take his team off to a flying start. 
<h2>He put spinners under pressure immediately and we know how well he hits the seam as well if they come with that - Steve Smith on Travis Head opening </h2>
Steve Smith, who will be captaining Australia in the SL vs AUS series, confirmed that Travis Head will be opening the innings. He pointed out how the batter put spinners under pressure, adding that it will be fun to watch. Speaking to reporters, he explained: 
"He did really nicely in India against the new ball. He put spinners under pressure immediately and we know how well he hits the seam as well if they come with that. It’s going to be good fun watching him.” 
With Travis Head opening the innings, there are chances that Sam Konstas will be batting in the middle-order. The youngster has never batted in the middle-order in his career and it will altogether be a new challenge for him, especially against the Sri Lanka spinners.

Virat Kohli, India's star batter has always been active character on the field. Viray Kohli's aggression has even succeeded in intimidating the Australians who were regarded as aggressors. While Kohli collided first shoulder into Australia's opener Sam Konstas and got fined for it, Virat has relatively cool off on the field. Virat is confused whether the audience want him to be calm on the field or be a aggressive mode. Kohli admitted that at some point of time he goes exaggerates but he does it for team's victory.
<img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202503/image_870x_67d6a8cdd8bb1.jpg" alt="">

It's gradually starting to diminish again," Virat Kohli said at Royal Challengers Bengaluru's Innovational Lab Indian Sports Summit before the Indian Premier League 2025 edition. "Audiences are not happy ,that I really don't even know what to do, surely to be honest. Before that, my aggression was something to be a problem, and now my calmness is a kind of problem. It's like, I have nothing to say what needs to be done, that's why I let it be like that by choosing not to focus on it much.   
Kohli says that I've never led away from that. But the point is, okay, sometimes the aggression might not have shown out with the right intent. And later on Virat says that he wants this all to be an event that helps his team to victory. That's why you see the celebration that Virat have when the team pick up a wicket in a pressure situation.
Later Kohli state that,"Because he like, yes, this is exactly what needs to be done. And he show it like that."     
Virat Kohli feels that the audience in many cases audience misunderstood his aggression comes from the right time and never misplaced. Also, his aggression behaviour is slowing down, simply but not his action for the competitiveness.
 "For many of the people, this behaviour is might not be something that they're able to do. But in case of me, it always be from the right path.And in batting, of course, my aggression only puts me in a different position. Because I don't have small, simple things to get happy about. I mean, the end aim is to finish the game for team. And then, yes, I represented it the way I used to do it in the past. Again, things have happened naturally for me. It's getting reduced naturally," Virat said.     
Virat Kohli says that: "His capability of competitiveness has not slow down. So, I think the same thing for a lot of people, it's very hard to simplify how is things is going to for the exact level if the aggressiveness is not there. Aggressiveness is not necessarily to be expressed but it can still be in your mind then out of frustration, which I have - I mean, in recent times as which is not a good thing,and be honest, I don't feel good about those things to myself."    
Virat Kohli will display with his compassion and aggressive style for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru as RCB will take Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens in the 2025 edition of the Indian Premier League opener match on 22 March.
