Collision with Kontas..!? Fined 20 percent of match fee..!?
In terms of players' behavior, the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, which has been a bit smooth so far, witnessed the dialogue between the Boxing Day Test, that too between Team India's star batter Virat Kohli. Australian sensation 19-year-old sam Kontas. There were reports that kohli was going to be banned for one match. But what happened in the end? Kontas, who made his international cricket debut in the melbourne Test, batted aggressively. He scored 60 runs off 65 balls with 6 fours and 2 sixes. World number one bowler jasprit bumrah along with Hyderabadi star pacer Mohammad Siraj bowled well. The highlight of Bumrah's bowling was the six he hit. At one stage, kohli became impatient as the bowlers failed to stop Kontas. He tried to seduce Kontas.
If the match referee takes the latest incident seriously and assigns 4 D merit points, the match would have been banned. However, kohli was fined 20 percent of the match fee. He admitted hitting Kontas and was fined. sam Kontas responded about Kohli's collision. No complaint was made against Virat. He said that both of them got a bit emotional. He mentioned that this happens in cricket as he was fixing his gloves which he did not even notice.
