Indian team is on tour of Australia. Where Team India is playing a five-match test series against Australia. The fourth match of this series is being played in Melbourne. Where the Australian team came out to bat first and they have made a very good start. The contribution of debutant Sam Constas has been very important behind Australia’s excellent start. In this match, he troubled the bowlers of Team India a lot. Meanwhile, Sam Constas and Virat Kohli collided with each other. After which both the players were seen arguing among themselves. The Australian camp appeared angry with Virat Kohli on this whole matter. He has also expressed his opinion regarding this issue.
Ricky Ponting said this
Former Australian player Ricky Ponting has accused Virat Kohli of deliberately provoking a conflict with Sam Constas. The former Australia captain was on air for Channel 7 when he accused Kohli of deliberately colliding with the 19-year-old Australian player. Ponting said on air that we are watching a replay of the clash between Constas and Virat. And see where Virat is walking. Virat moved to his right and provoked that confrontation. There is no doubt in my mind about this.
Alyssa Healy’s big statement
Alyssa Healy, wife of Australian fast bowler Mitchell Starr and Australian women’s team player, said on this issue that it is a difficult task. Perhaps more disappointing than anything else is that your experienced player, who is one of the best players in the country, is trying to pick out the youngest player on the opposition team to sledge. This doesn’t really set the best tone for your team. But if the Indian team wants to play this way, then so be it. But this did not perturb Constas in the least.
