Virat Kohli fined 20% match fee and given one demerit point for physical confrontation with Sam Konstas

Virat Kohli is fined 20% of the match fee and given one demerit point following his actions on the first day of the Boxing Day Test in Melbourne. He accepted the offence after a hearing from the match referee Andy Pycroft.

Kohli shoved shoulders with Sam Konstas in the first session of the first day, following which an altercation broke out between the two, and the umpire had to intervene. It was deliberate by Kohli, so the reprimand was always on the cards.
