Top Virat Kohli Sam Konstas Incident Memes: Today was Day One of the much-anticipated fourth Test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. This Australia vs India match played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, had a memorable first day. However, the biggest talking point of the day had nothing to do with cricket. Rather, it was the Virat Kohli-Sam Konstas incident.
19-year-old Sam Konstas made his debut for the Australian Cricket Team today, replacing Nathan McSweeney in the squad. The Aussies won the toss and decided to bat first.
In the first 10 overs, the debutant showed a lot of courage (or audacity, depending upon who you ask) by trying to hit a ramp shot to Jasprit Bumrah. In the seventh over, he connected one for a four. He then hit it again for a six on the next ball. Before the over ended, he hit Bumrah for another four in the same manner.
Then after the end of the 10th over, the incident happened. As the fielders were changing ends, Virat Kohli and Konstas collided shoulder to shoulder. The two then mouthed off at each other, and the scene looked like it was going to escalate.
But before anything else could happen, Usman Khawaja walked up to the two and calmed things down. Then the umpire arrived at the scene and shut the whole thing up.
