Virat Kohli slapped with hefty penalty for shoulder-barge with Sam Konstas during Boxing Day Test

India TV News  

Former India captain Virat Kohli has been slapped with a fine and a demerit point for the Sam Konstas incident on the opening day of the Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Kohli, who seemed to have deliberately shouldered Konstas away in between the 10th and the 11th overs of the Australian innings, has copped a 20 per cent fine of his match fee as it was a Level 1 offence for breaching Article 2.12 of the ICC Code of Conduct. Article 2.12 of the ICC Code of Conduct relates to: “inappropriate physical contact with a Player, Player Support Personnel, Umpire, Match Referee or any other person might have a few questions to answer," Ponting added. Australia ended up scoring 311 runs before the close of play at the loss of six wickets with the likes of Konstas, Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith smashing half-centuries.
