Virat Kohli To Face 1 Match Ban Over Sam Konstas Incident? What ICC Rulebook Says

India's talismanic cricketer Virat Kohli finds himself in the spotlight over an avoidable clash with Australian teenager Sam Konstas. As the Aussie debutant took Indian bowlers, including Jasprit Bumrah to cleaners on Day 1 of the 4th Test at the MCG, Kohli looked to unnerve the batter by trying a few tricks in his bag. The India star seemed to have deliberately shoulder-pushed Konstas on Thursday, hoping to get under his nerves, but the act resulted in a huge altercation in the middle. Ex-cricketers like Ricky Ponting and Michael Vaughan even demanded an ICC sanction for Kohli over the incident. Considering the nature of the incident, it is also understood that the matter will be reviewed by ICC.

"That's A Lie...": Michael Vaughan's Blunt Take On Ravindra Jadeja's 'Hindi Interview' Row Ahead Of Boxing Day Test

Do Feel For Nathan McSweeney, But Totally Understand Why Australia Dropped Him, Says Michael Vaughan

Former England captain Michael Vaughan said he does feel sad for Nathan McSweeney, who was dropped from Australia's squad for the remaining two Tests against India, while acknowledging the rationale behind the decision made by the visitors'. McSweeney opened in the first three Tests against India but made just 72 runs at an average of 14.40, despite not having opened previously in first-class cricket. On Friday, the Australian selectors dropped McSweeney to draft in teenage opener Sam Konstas. "I feel for Nathan, I think he'll be back - but I totally understand why Australia made this move. I feel for the kid, because of all the people that I've seen come into Test cricket over the last 10 years, I don't think anyone's been given a harder challenge.
