Virat Kohli and Sam Konstas shoulder bump

The shoulder bump between Sam Konstas and Virat Kohli on the opening day of the fourth Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) grabbed headlines on Thursday. Playing his first Test for Australia, a daring Konstas took on the Indian bowlers and put on 89 runs with Usman Khawaja for the opening wicket. On December 26, after Kohli nudged Australia debutant Sam Konstas on DAY 1 of the Boxing Day Test, he came under the scanner and was labelled 'clown' by some Australian media outlets. Australian newspaper The West Australian had a headline reading, ‘Clown Kohli’ and a picture of Kohli with a clown's nose. The article read, “Indian sook slammed for pathetic bump in teen's dream Test debut.” He was also fined 20 percent of his match fees by the ICC and reprimanded by many former cricketers for his altercation with Sam Konstas.
