The Australian media has started calling Virat Kohli a ‘joker’ for abusing debutant opener Sam Constas on the first day of the Boxing Day Test.
Yesterday, the debutant Australian opener got into a fight with Sam Constas on the first day of the fourth Test match of the series being played in Melbourne, for which he was criticized.
At the beginning of the Test, 19-year-old Australian opener Sam Constas also washed out Indian bowler Jasprit Bumrah while batting, which made the Indian fielders look worried.
At the end of the 10th over of the match, Virat Kohli and Sam Constas clashed on the shoulders, which led to an altercation between the two, however, Usman Khawaja and the umpires intervened.
After the incident, Virat Kohli was given a warning and only a fine of 20 percent of his match fee and one demerit point.
After the incident went viral on social media, there are demands that Virat Kohli be handed over to a suspension of at least one match, however, the Australian media called Kohli a ‘clown’ and a joker in the Friday morning newspapers, while a picture was also shown with a baby feeder in his mouth.
The West Australian newspaper published the headline ‘Clown Kohli’, which angered Indian supporters and fans.
On the other hand, in the post-match press conference, Sam Constas called Virat Kohli’s collision with himself on the field a mistake, he said that I was adjusting my golf shoes, and I think he accidentally hit me.
