NEW DELHI: Melbourne witnessed high-octane cricket and heated moments during the Boxing Day Test at the MCG, where Virat Kohli's shoulder bump incident with Australian debutant Sam Konstas became a major talking point.
Konstas, in his very first Test appearance, stunned the cricketing world with a fearless display against India's premier pacer Jasprit Bumrah. The young batter executed a daring ramp shot for six over wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant’s head, leaving the Indian team momentarily stunned. However, tensions boiled over at the end of the 10th over when Kohli brushed shoulders with Konstas. The heated exchange that followed saw Usman Khawaja step in to diffuse the situation.
