Kohli Penalised for Heated Altercation with Konstas

The incident took place early into the first session of play when Kohli and Konstas bumped shoulders while moving across the pitch between overs.

A heated exchange followed the confrontation, before Konstas' opening partner Usman Khawaja and umpire Michael Gough interrupted to cut the altercation short.

Kohli was sanctioned for breaching Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct that relates to "inappropriate physical contact with a Player, Player Support Personnel, Umpire, Match Referee or any other person (including a spectator during an International Match". No formal hearing was required as Kohli accepted the sanctions.
