Virat Kohli's match fee was Rs 15 lakh.
Kohli was not at fault in this. Virat Kohli's match fee was Rs 15 lakh, 20 percent of which is Rs 3 lakh. That is, Kohli will have to pay a fine of Rs 3 lakh. In this way, now his match fee will be reduced to Rs 12 lakh. This is the first time since 2019 that a demerit point has been added to Kohli's account.
Kohli accused of violating Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct
If a player accumulates four demerit points in his account within two years, he is suspended for one Test match. What are the ICC rules? On-field umpires Joel Wilson and Michael Gough, third umpire Sharafuddullah Ibne Shahid and fourth umpire Shawn Craig accused Kohli of violating Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct.
20 percent of the match fine imposed
Kohli accepted the punishment given by match referee Andy Pycroft. The ICC said in a statement, 'Virat Kohli has been fined 20 percent of his match fee for violating Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct and a demerit point has been added to his account. There was no need for a formal hearing in this matter as Kohli accepted the punishment given by match referee Andy Pycroft.' The tension on the field had increased after the tenth over of the Australian innings when the players were passing in front of each other
Kohli and Konstas' shoulders collided
Then Kohli and Konstas' shoulders collided. Both the players turned and stared at each other and also said something. Meanwhile, Australia's opening batsman Usman Khawaja came and separated the two. The field umpires also talked to both of them. Konstas was playing at that time after scoring 27 runs, he hit two fours and a six to Jasprit Bumrah in the next over. He was out LBW on Ravindra Jadeja's ball after scoring a half-century.
