However, this on-field battle in the race for the WTC final is also being seen between the players of both the teams. On the first day of the Melbourne Test, India's veteran Virat Kohli clashed with Australia's debutant Sam Constance. 19 year old Sam was hit on the shoulder by Virat during Australia's innings.

It is worth noting that Virat Kohli often does this to involve the audience with himself. While fielding, Virat often maintains his connection with the audience and asks the fans to applaud and support him. Now Sam has also done a great job. Let us tell you that even though Virat may have hit Sam on the shoulder on the field, Constas is a big fan of Virat Kohli. He considers Virat as his idol.
19-year-old Sam made a spectacular and memorable debut in international cricket through the Melbourne Test. This opening batsman played brilliantly in the first international innings of his career against India and scored 60 runs in 65 balls. He hit six fours and two sixes.
