Kohli To Be Fined For On-field Altercation With Konstas At MCG
Boxing Day Test: Talismanic India batter Virat Kohli is set to be fined 20 per cent of his match fee and handed one demerit point for his shoulder collision with debutant Australia batter Sam Konstas on Day 1 of the Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
Reports from Cricbuzz and SEN Radio have said Kohli was handed these sanctions for deliberately making physical contact with Konstas, which was assessed by match referee Andy Pycroft.
Though an official statement from the International Cricket Council (ICC) is yet to come, Kohli is all but certain to be charged under Article 2.12 of the Code of Conduct, which says, "Any form of inappropriate physical contact is prohibited in cricket. Without limitation, players will breach this regulation if they deliberately, recklessly and/or negligently walk or run into or shoulder another player or umpire.”
