"We Played Like Gentlemen...": 1983 World Cup-Winning Star On Virat Kohli-Sam Konstas Row

There has been a lot of debate regarding the altercation between Virat Kohli and Sam Konstas that took place on Day 1 of the fourth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). The 1983 World Cup-winning wicket-keeper Syed Kirmani has given his take on the latest controversy, claiming the current crop of cricketers have a ‘cannot-take-it-lying-down' attitude. The altercation occurred during a gripping session of play when Konstas was in the midst of an impressive innings and Kohli bumped into the 19-year-old in between overs. “We played like gentlemen. Having said that, it's not that our cricketers are not playing like gentlemen. It is a matter of retaliation. Now, the attitude, and the application is changed. Now, we cannot take it lying down. We have to retaliate,” Kirmani told IANS.

Virat Kohli's on-field theatrics have taken centerstage in the Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, with the Indian superstar making headlines for his fiery confrontations, a costly run-out mix-up, and his resilience with the bat. Former England captain Kevin Pietersen, came out in support of Kohli, praising the 36-year-old for bringing theatre to the game. The drama began on the opening day of the fourth Test when Kohli collided with Australian debutant Sam Konstas during a fiery moment on the field. The 19-year-old Konstas, unfazed by the incident, exchanged words with Kohli, escalating the tension. As Kohli turned back to confront Konstas, umpire Michael Gough and Usman Khawaja had to intervene to defuse the situation.

"You Can't Hang A Man...": India And Australia Ex-Cricketers Argue Over Virat Kohli's Fine For Sam Konstas Clash

Virat Kohli was not extended any special treatment, asserted Indian great Sunil Gavaskar but some former Australian players felt the batting superstar got away lightly for his physical altercation with debutant Sam Konstas in the ongoing Boxing Day Test here. Kohli was fined 20 per cent of his match fee and handed a demerit point for a brief face off with Konstas on Thursday during which the two players bumped shoulders and exchanged words. The run-in was initiated by Kohli but the 19-year-old Konstas insisted that their physical contact was accidental.

Rohit Sharma To Retire After Australia Test Series? Report Makes Big 'Ajit Agarkar' Claim

Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma failed to score big once again as he was dismissed for just 3 on Day 2 of the fourth Test match against Australia in Melbourne on Friday. It was yet another disappointing show from Rohit who has scored just 22 runs in the last four innings. It has resulted in a lot of discussions regarding his future and a report by PTI said that it is possible that he can retire from the format after the ongoing series. According to the report, chief selector Ajit Agarkar is in Melbourne right now and it is possible that they will have a conversation about Rohit's future.

"Don't Think Anyone Has Treated Jasprit Bumrah Like That": Ex-India Captain Impressed With Sam Konstas

Former head coach Ravi Shastri saw shades of iconic opener Virender Sehwag when he watched Australia Test debutant Sam Konstas take on the Indian pace attack on the opening day of the Boxing Day match at the MCG. Jasprit Bumrah, widely regarded as the best pacer across all formats, was left speechless by the young Konstas. His audacious yet brave approach, being aggressive against India's top-tier bowlers, riled up the Indian team, especially Virat Kohli.

Assault On Jasprit Bumrah Was "Pre-Meditated": Australia Star Sam Konstas

"It was just another day for him" but not for a filled-to-capacity MCG as 19-year-old Sam Konstas went after a modern-day pace great with the ferocity of a Greek warrior, refused to back down from a confrontation and showed utter disdain for the archaic defence-first approach against India. It wouldn't be wrong to say that the sensation from Sydney, who is of Greek descent, made a debut to remember at the Boxing Day Test and created the impact that the Australian team management wanted from him.

Rohit Sharma's Poor 'Decision Making' Earns Him Brutal 'Bollywood Star' Dig

Former India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar criticised skipper Rohit Sharma's decision to open following poor outings in the middle order, saying that one of the biggest issues with Indian cricket is how every attempt is made to ensure that big-time players come back into the form. After poor outings in the series at number six, in which he scored just 19 runs in three innings, Rohit returned to his usual opening spot and this made KL Rahul, the in-form opener in this series, slide down to number three. However, Rohit's stay at the crease was short-lived as he fell to Cummins due to a poor shot.

On Virat Kohli-Sam Konstas Clash, BCCI President Roger Binny Makes Feelings Clear: "You Have To..."

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president Roger Binny reflected on the on-field altercation between star India batter Virat Kohli and Australia's debutant batter Sam Konstas on the first day of fourth Test at Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), saying that such things happen on the field and one must just accept it and move on. 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.
