Virat Kohli fined 20% of match-fee, 1 demerit point for shoulder bumping Sam Konstas

Virat Kohli has been fined 20% of his match fee and awarded one demerit point for shoulder bumping Sam Konstas at the MCG on Thursday morning.

Cricket is not a contact sport and there are rules for body nudging in the game. The ICC's Code of Conduct (CoC) prohibits any form of inappropriate physical contact, including shoulder bumping.

The incident occurred after the end of the 10th over of Day One when Kohli was seen shoulder-nudging the debutant Australian opener in front of a 90,000-strong MCG crowd. It led to an exchange between the players with Usman Khawaja trying to cool things down.
