On the first day of the Boxing Day match being played between India and Australia in Melbourne, a controversy erupted when Virat Kohli and debutant Australian young batsman Sam Constas got into a scuffle. Now former greats like Sunil Gavaskar and Michael Vaughan have given their opinion on this. However, both of them have criticized Kohli's aggressive attitude on the field.
How did the scuffle happen?
In the 11th over of the Australian innings, Constas hit two fours and a six off Jasprit Bumrah. After the third ball of the over, Kohli was coming back from the non-striker end. At the same time, Constas was moving ahead of the crease. Then Kohli's shoulder collided with Constas' shoulder. Both collided. On this, Constas turned back and said a few words to Kohli, and then Kohli also replied. A video of the altercation between the two has surfaced. After this, the umpire came and separated the two and calmed the matter. Konstas had earlier also had an altercation with fast bowler Mohammad Siraj. Siraj was seen provoking Konstas by saying something when he beat him.
Gavaskar said - this could have been avoided.
Talking about this incident, former Indian team captain Gavaskar said that it would be interesting to see what kind of ban the match referee imposes on both players at the end of the day's play. Gavaskar said, this is the heated atmosphere of Test cricket, but this could have been avoided. I mean it was like you are walking on a busy road and see that someone is coming from the front, then you can move aside. There is nothing in this, if you move away you will not become small. You would not want to see such things on the playing field.
Gavaskar said, without seeing the replay, my first opinion in this matter is that both the players were looking down. I think both of them would not have seen each other coming. Konstas was probably looking at his bat, while Kohli's eyes were on the ball. We will know in the evening who is fined more in this case.
Healy-Vaughan criticized Kohli
Former England captain Michael Vaughan said that the mistake was completely Kohli's because 19-year-old Konstas batted fearlessly, which made Kohli, who is called the king of world cricket, uncomfortable. Vaughan said Kohli behaved completely wrongly. I do not understand why such an experienced player, who is the king, clashed with a 19-year-old player. Konstas did not make any mistakes at this place. Kohli went towards him and you cannot do this.
At the same time, Australia women's team batsman Alyssa Healy criticized Kohli's behavior. Healy said, it is very disappointing to see that such an experienced player, who is the top player of his country, looked like this.
