Will Virat Kohli be sanctioned and suspended for Sydney Test by Andy Pycroft, the match referee for shoulder barging Sam Konstas?

It looked bad. Virat Kohli, a former captain, cut across from his initial position on the leg side of play, with the ball in his hand, walked beside the pitch where Sam Konstas was returning back from the other end. And the shoulder barge happened. Konstas and Kohli would exchange words, before Usman Khawaja came in with a smile and put a hand over Kohli’s shoulders. Virat Kohli and Sam Konstas exchanged a heated moment on the MCG. #AUSvIND pic.twitter.com/QL13nZ9IGI — cricket.com.au (@cricketcomau) December 26, 2024 But what does the law say? It comes under Law 2.12: Inappropriate physical contact with a Player, Player Support Personnel, Umpire, Match Referee or any other person (including a spectator) during an International Match.

Virat Kohli’s batting average in Test is third lowest among players with 9,000 runs

Virat Kohli has seen a dip in his form over the past few years. Virat Kohli’s Test average currently stands at 47.49, with 9,166 runs to his name. To put into perspective, Kohli’s Test average in 2019 was constantly in the mid-fifties, the highest being 55.10, and was once the only batsman to have an average of 50 or above in all three formats. For eight years, Kohli’s average has not gone below 47.5, and now, his batting average is third lowest amongst the players that have scored 9000 in Tests, and the only one of the fab four to have a Test average below 50. His second innings in Perth gave glimpses of a potential comeback of the former Indian captain, as he always brings his A-game Down Under in the Border Gavaskar Trophy. But other than the innings that marked his 81st international c...

‘I just wanted to get away from the guard’: Lachie Burtt- The beer snake man explains on what he was doing at sight screen which caused disruption of play in Adelaide

Lachie Burtt, often now referred to as the beer snake man, disturbed the game in Adelaide Oval on Friday during the second test of the Border Gavaskar Trophy by running with a beer snake (a pile of beer cups stacked together, making a snake-like figure) near the sight screen throws light on the incident. “In my head at that time, I just wanted to get away from the guard, so I saw the space and hopped over the tiny white rope,” he told 9News. “I didn’t really have time to stop and think what I was doing right now and what the effects were going to be because of it,” said Lachie Burtt. “I did feel a bit silly, it wasn’t the right thing … sorry Marnus.” “It’s probably not the right thing to do, but no one got hurt,” Burtt said. Burtt felt that the small hiccup didn’t matter much as the game ...
