Virat Kohli, who was criticized for clashing with Sam Constas on the field, showed amazing sportsmanship for Steve Smith, after which people became fans of the Indian cricketer. On the second day of the ongoing Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, when Steve Smith completed the 34th century of his career, Virat Kohli came to him and congratulated him by patting his back.
Everyone is praising Kohli after seeing his sportsmanship. Just a day before, Kohli was booed by the spectators for clashing with 19-year-old Sam Constas. Anyway, Virat Kohli is going through a challenging time in Australia right now.
The Indian batsman is not in good form and apart from this, he is surrounded by controversies. This is probably considered to be Kohli's last Australia tour as an Indian cricketer. The Indian cricketer is trying to find his form and contribute to the team's success.
Let us remind you that Kohli was given a severe punishment by the ICC for physically clashing with Sam Constas. The apex body of cricket fined Kohli 20 percent of his match fee and also added one demerit point to his account. According to Article 2.12 of ICC's Code of Conduct, cricket is not a physical game, and such clashes are prohibited.
Smith's record century
Meanwhile, Australian batsman Steve Smith made the Boxing Day Test memorable by scoring the 34th century of his Test career. With this, Smith equaled the record of India's great batsman Sunil Gavaskar (34 centuries). He made a special record by scoring his 11th century against India. Smith has become the batsman who has scored the most centuries against India.
Now this record is in the target.
Smith scored his fifth century at Melbourne. Steve Smith was out after scoring 140 runs in 197 balls with the help of 13 fours and three sixes. He was unfortunately bowled by Akashdeep. Smith's target now is to cross the 10,000 run mark. He will become the fourth Australian batsman to cross the 10,000 run mark after Allan Border, Steve Waugh, and Ricky Ponting.
