During the first day of the Boxing Day Test between India and Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, an incident between Virat Kohli and Australian debutant Sam Konstas made headlines.
Kohli, one of India's top players, and Konstas, a 19-year-old debutant for Australia, were involved in a shoulder-bump while on the field. As a result, Kohli was fined 20% of his match fees and given a demerit point for breaching the ICC Code of Conduct. This was a Level One offense, which is the least serious level of punishment from the ICC.

Despite the incident, Konstas downplayed the situation. He mentioned that Kohli is his favorite player and said there were no hard feelings. He also explained that such moments can happen during an intense game of cricket.
This small clash showed how emotions can run high during big matches. Both players moved on quickly after the incident. Kohli is known for his strong on-field attitude, but this did not affect his performance or reputation as a top cricketer.
The incident was not the main focus of the match, but it did add some extra excitement to the day. Cricket is not only about runs and wickets but also about the passion and emotions players show while playing. Fans were excited to see how the rest of the match would go after the small rivalry between Kohli and Konstas.
