One of the images of the day was Kohli, 36, barging into Konstas after the Australian had clubbed the India bowlers around the ground. Kohli appeared to change direction to make contact with Konstas, who was walking down the pitch to speak to his opening batting partner Khawaja. Speaking to host broadcaster Seven Network, former Australia captain Ricky Ponting says Kohli was probably to blame. “That man [Kohli] might have a few questions to answer,” Ponting said. “When you’re out there batting, the batsman owns the wicket. The crease is his. Especially between overs like that.” The International Cricket Council can suspend players for “inappropriate physical contact” if deemed serious enough, though it is not yet clear whether either player will face any further action.
