Ricky Ponting's Fiery Verdict As Virat Kohli Escapes Ban For Sam Konstas Altercation

Former Australian skipper Ricky Ponting argued that a 20 percent match fee fine imposed on star India batter Virat Kohli for an altercation against debutant Sam Konstas "is not harsh enough". Konstas' much-anticipated debut in Australia turned out to be one of the most entertaining in a long while. Not only did the 19-year-old make headlines by toying with Indian pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah and scoring 34 of his 60 runs against him, but Virat also got involved in a heated exchange with the youngster after bumping into him, making a direct physical shoulder-to-shoulder contact. The 36-year-old was fined 20 per cent of his match fee by the International Cricket Council (ICC) and handed over one demerit point for this altercation.

Steve Smith, on the other hand, is cruising towards a century with some fine stroke-play in the morning session of Day 2 of the 4th Test in Melbourne. Bumrah's three wickets on the opening day helped India make a comeback in the game, but Australia still managed to finish the day in a good position, thanks to fifties from Sam Konstas (60), Usman Khawaja (57), Marnus Labuschagne (72) and Steve Smith.
