Pathetic behaviour from Kohli to shoulder barge Konstas. He has been fined 20% of his match fee which is completely meaningless to a man with his wealth (estimated £72 million). Totally deliberate, & has no place in the game, a poor example to set from an iconic player.

A one day ban to take effect today would have been more appropriate.

I'd say stretch it to two days and he should apologise to all young players and If he does I hope he now accepts it was wrong of him and he knows deep down, that he should be setting a far better example, given his status. I think there have been instances in the past of that sort of thing, I'm sure Botham did the same thing once. Knowing Kohli he will claim it was a heat of the moment thing.

I do agree with Boomer, it has no place in the game, but I think when it does happen the umpire should have a word with the player in question ans thr field captain and an official warning or fielding penalty of some kind should be given.
