On a drama-filled Day 1 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in the fourth Test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series, where Australia dominated the proceedings with the bat, the incident involving India's senior batter Virat Kohli and 19-year-old debutant Sam Konstas became the cynosure after the two were involved in a mid-pitch altercation in the first session.

As reported by Cricbuzz, Virat Kohli has been fined 20 percent of his match fees for his behavior towards Sam Konstas. Kohli accepted the charge without contesting it. Additionally, he has received one demerit point, resulting in no suspension being imposed.

Ravi Shastri believes Virat Kohli's altercation with debutant Sam Konstas during the Boxing Day Test was unnecessary and not fitting for a player of his stature.

Ravi Shastri feels the shoulder bumping incident between Virat Kohli and Sam Konstas in the fourth Test was totally unnecessary.
