Sam Konstas snatched the early momentum from India on the opening day of the fourth Test at the MCG with a positive knock of 60 off just 65 balls on his debut. However, there was a physical altercation between Konstas and Virat Kohli that stole the limelight on the day.

A top source within the ICC has indicated that Virat Kohli could face punishment for shouldering Sam Konstas on Day 1 of the Boxing Day Test. The source stated that the match referee and umpires will review the matter and may call the players for an explanation.
