The Boxing Day Test has started in Melbourne, in which the Australian team is batting first after winning the toss. However, only 10 overs of the Australian innings had ended when something else other than the collision between the bat and the ball was seen between the players on the field. Players of India and Australia were seen fighting among themselves. There seemed to be a Tu-Tu-Me-Main between them. The players among whom this was seen were Virat Kohli from India and 19-year-old Sam Constas, who was debuting from Australia.
Virat Kohli is famous for his aggression in world cricket. But, Sam Constance would not have even imagined that he would face that aggression of Kohli during the very first innings of his career. But, something similar happened as soon as the 10th over of the Australian innings ended in the Melbourne Test.
Now what happened, please find out that also. As soon as the 10th over of the Australian innings is over, Virat Kohli comes from the front and hits Sam Constance with his shoulder. Now there is always a reaction to the action. Hence, as soon as Kohli hits him on the shoulder, Constance gets into a tussle with him and a brief argument is seen between the two.

When this incident occurred, Australia had scored 24 runs in 10 overs. Out of this, 14 runs came in just one over of Bumrah. Constance also became the first batsman to hit a six against Bumrah after 4483 balls. Not only this, he also showed the courage to play some reverse sweeps against Bumrah in the first 10 overs. Kohli tried to respond to these attitudes of Australia's new batsman with his aggression.
By the way, how can it be possible that there is a match between India and Australia and such pictures are not seen? Therefore, it was not surprising to see what was seen between Virat and Constance at MCG. When Virat got entangled, Constance was playing after scoring 27 runs. After that incident he added 33 more runs to his score. That means he was out after scoring 60 runs in the first inning of his Test career.
