ICC likely to punish Virat Kohli for shouldering Sam Konstas: Sources
A top source within the ICC has indicated that Virat Kohli could face punishment for shouldering Sam Konstas on Day 1 of the Boxing Day Test. The source stated that the match referee and umpires will review the matter and may call the players for an explanation.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) is set to review the on-field altercation involving batting star Virat Kohli and Australian teenage debutant Sam Konstas on Day 1 of the Boxing Day Test in Melbourne. Kohli appeared to deliberately bump into the young Sam Konstas, who had been aggressively taking on the Indian fast bowlers after Australia won the toss and chose to bat in Melbourne.
According to a senior source within the ICC, the incident has not gone unnoticed and could lead to disciplinary action against the veteran Indian batter. "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," the source revealed.
The clash occurred in the heat of the game as Konstas, making his debut for Australia, was involved in a routine exchange on the field. Kohli's apparent shoulder nudge was captured by cameras, sparking immediate reactions from fans and pundits alike.
"If the explanation provided by Kohli does not satisfy the officials, he could face punishment in the form of demerit points," the source added. Demerit points are part of the ICC's disciplinary system, which can lead to fines or even suspension if a player accumulates too many points within a specified period.
While the ICC has yet to make an official statement on the matter, the incident has already stirred significant debate in cricketing circles. The final decision now rests with the match referee and umpires, whose report will determine the course of action. "Let's see what stand the referee takes," the ICC source concluded.
