IND vs AUS / Fight between Virat and Constas in Melbourne Test, 19 year old player hit the shoulder

IND vs AUS: Virat Kohli's bat may not have scored many runs in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia, but his aggression and enthusiasm on the field are becoming a topic of discussion in every match. One such interesting incident was seen during the Boxing-Day Test being played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), when a tense atmosphere was created between 19-year-old young Australian player Sam Constas and Kohli.

Constas and Kohli clash

During the Australian innings, after the 10th over, there was a moment that caught everyone's attention. Kohli, who was passing close to the pitch with the ball at that time, and Sam Constas, who was coming from the other side, collided with each other. At first Kohli ignored it and moved forward, but Sam Constas made some comments from behind, due to which Kohli turned around and replied to him. The matter escalated so much that the umpire had to intervene.

Sam Constas' aggressive style

Constas displayed fearless and aggressive play in his debut match. He made his intention clear by hitting two sixes against Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah. His 60-run innings included 6 fours and 2 sixes, which came in just 65 balls. His batting not only accelerated the pace of runs, but also thrilled the spectators present at the MCG.

With this innings, Sam Constas has become the second youngest Australian player to score a fifty in Test cricket. Confidence and aggression were clearly visible in his batting.

Match atmosphere and Kohli's impact

Even though Kohli failed to contribute with the bat during the match, his energy on the field and his style of boosting the morale of the team was worth watching. Kohli's attitude is known to put mental pressure on the opposing team, and this incident is a great example of this.

Result and impact

In this match between India and Australia, such incidents on the field make the game more exciting. This clash between Virat Kohli and Sam Constas added a new color to the match and presented a memorable moment for the audience. It will be interesting to see whether such clashes between these two players continue in the coming days or not.

This thrill of the Boxing Day Test shows that cricket is not just a game of bat and ball, but the mentality of the players and their enthusiasm on the field is also very important in it.
