Indian star Virat Kohli faced sanctions during the fourth Test at the MCG, receiving a 20% match fee deduction and one demerit point for inappropriate physical contact with Australian debutant Sam Konstas. The incident occurred after a heated exchange led to a shoulder bump in the 10th over. Tensions rose as Konstas played a fearless 60-run knock, frustrating the Indian team. Match Referee Andy Pycroft confirmed the charge, which Kohli accepted without a hearing, ensuring the matter was resolved swiftly.
