4th Test: Kohli Reprimanded For Shoulder Bump With Konstas
Match Referee Andy Pycroft: Virat Kohli has been fined 20 per cent of his match fee and received one demerit point from the International Cricket Council (ICC) for causing a shoulder bump with debutant Sam Konstas on the opening day of the Boxing Day Test.
The ICC issued a statement after the end of the day's play on Thursday and found Kohli breaching Level 1 of its Code of Conduct.
The incident occurred at the end of the 10th over on the first day of the Melbourne Test when Kohli bumped the Australia debutant's shoulder, which led to a heated exchange between the two players. The other Australian opener Usman Khawaja was seen trying to mediate between the two players.
