New Delhi: Indian Cricketer Sunil Gavaskar slammed Cricketer Virat Kohli and Sam Konstas after the two got involved in a confrontation on Day 1 of the Melbourne test. According to sources, the Indian Cricketer Virat Kohli has been fined 20 percent of his match fees after his alleged confrontation with Sam Konstas in the forth test against Australia.

Kohli was allegedly seen shouldering the Australian player in the first session of the opening day play. The incident that is doing the rounds in the social media, shows that the two players were switching ends during the 10th and 11th over of the Australian innings at the Melbourne ground.

During that time Virat Kohli was seen shouldering the Australian player, he was seen walking towards him and then made a deliberate attempt and collided with him.

However, Ricky Ponting who was commenting at that time, said that he clearly made this attempt deliberately. Meanwhile the clip also shows that while Kohli was walking deliberately towards Sam Konstas, he was seen adjusting his gloves with his head down.

Meanwhile, a senior source in the ICC also said that It is now up to the match referee and umpires to review the footage and assess the situation. They may call the players involved for explanations.

Former Indian Cricketer Sunil Gavaskar also reacted sharply and slammed both the cricketers, he said There’s nothing; it doesn’t make you smaller if you move away. That’s the thing. And you don’t want to see these things on the field. Definitely not.

He added that My first instinct, looking at it without seeing the replays, was that both were looking down, so they didn’t see each other coming. Konstas was looking at his bat; Kohli had the ball in his hand, and he was doing something. But with that footage, we’ll see who gets fined more this evening.

 

The social media is flooded with reactions slamming Kohli.
