Virat Kohli escaped with a fine of 20 per cent of his match fee after he shouldered 19-year-old Sam Konstas on Day 1 of the Boxing Day Test.

Cricket Australia CEO Nick Hockley said teenage debutant Sam Konstas showed maturity beyond his age and was gracious to brush aside his physical altercation with India superstar Virat Kohli in the Boxing Day Test.

Batting maestro Virat Kohli avoided a ban after a shoulder bump with Australian debutant Sam Konstas during the fourth Test in Melbourne. The ICC fined Kohli 20% of his match fee and awarded a demerit point.
