Australian media calls India's great Virat Kohli "Clown" for the Sam Konstas incident.

When Virat Kohli and Australian teenager Sam Konstas got into a violent argument in Melbourne, the Australian media criticized him.

On Day 1 of the 4th Test in Melbourne, Andy Pycroft, the match referee for the International Cricket Council (ICC), may have rendered his decision about the Virat Kohli-Sam Konstas incident, but the Australian media has not. The India star appeared to purposefully push the Australian opener with his shoulder during their heated altercation in the middle. Both on and off the field, the incident generated a lot of criticism, and a number of former cricket players expressed their opinions. The match referee's announcement of his decision, however, seemed to put an end to the discussion, although the Australian media took issue with the India star receiving only a 20 percent match fee fine and one demerit point.

After the event went viral on social media, calls grew for Kohli to be suspended for at least one match. However, the match referee believed that a fine and one demerit point was a sufficient penalty. However, in Friday morning's publications, Australian media insulted Kohli and called him a "clown," which went too far.

"The West Australian" used the headline, "Clown Kohli," to degrade the former captain of India. Because of his behavior, Kohli was often referred to as a sook, a crybaby or coward.

In Australia, Konstas' eagerly awaited debut proved to be among the most entertaining in a long time. Virat got into a violent argument with the 19-year-old after running into him and making direct shoulder-to-shoulder contact, in addition to the fact that he scored 34 of his 60 runs against Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah and made headlines by playing with him. The International Cricket Council (ICC) penalized the 36-year-old 20% of his match pay and gave him one penalty point for the confrontation.

"I did not witness the incident (Virat Kohli-Sam Konstas incident), but these things happen on the cricket field," BCCI president Roger Binny told ANI in reference to the altercation. You must accept it and continue. Observe that the game continues. That is significant.

In the post-game press conference, Konstas only stated that Virat had unintentionally bumped into him.

"I believe he bumped me by accident as I was changing my gloves. However, he stated, "I believe that is just cricket, just the tension."
