Sunil Gavaskar and Michael Vaughan were among the many who criticised Virat Kohli after the former India captain was involved in a physical altercation with 19-year-old debutant, Sam Konstas in Melbourne.

The fiery encounter occurred during a break between overs when Sam Konstas, who was making his Test debut, was walking back to his position at the crease alongside Usman Khawaja.

Australia debutant Sam Konstas was deliberately shouldered by Virat Kohli on the opening day of the Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
