NEW DELHI: Australia opener Sam Konstas may have declared that Virat Kohli<\/a> is his favourite player in the world and given the Indian batting superstar the clean chit over his shoulder-bump, but things are different when it comes to on field action.
The first day of the Boxing Day Test between India and Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground was just not about Konstas’ dazzling debut, but also his on-field confrontation with Kohli.<\/p>\n

Sam Konstas on Kohli altercation: ‘I was doing my gloves, he accidentally bumped me’<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Virat was fined 20 percent of his match fees and given a demerit point by the ICC for a Level One breach of the ICC code of conduct as a result of that incident.
However, the 19-year-old home debutant downplayed the incident, claiming the Indian superstar had bumped into him by accident.
In the Indian first innings, Virat<\/a> batted patiently in his 86-ball stay at the crease accumulating 36 runs and looked totally focused to not to fall to the trap outside the off-stump.
There were many instances when Virat left deliveries bowled by Mitchell Starc<\/a> outside the off-stump and giving the Aussie pacer a smile.
But Virat ran out of patience after his mix-up with Yashasvi Jaiswal<\/a> that resulted in the Indian opener’s run out for 82.
The Aussies finally had the last laugh as Kohli<\/a> edged a Scot Bland delivery for wicket-keeper Alex Carey<\/a> to take a simple catch again losing the game of patience.
And now a video is viral on the internet that shows how Konstas celebrated after the dismissal of the former Indian captain.
In the video, Konstas is showing asking the MCG crowd to cheer on the dismissal, much like Virat does when he asks the crowd to cheer the Indian bowlers.<\/p>\n

The Kohli-Konstas on-field rivalry is emblematic of cricket’s beauty-where established stars and young challengers push each other to new heights. This contest isn’t just about skill; it’s a mental battle that keeps fans on the edge of their seats.<\/div>\n
