Some humor exchange between Indian pacer Mohammed Siraj and Australian batter Marnus Labuschagne was observed during their game, but Kohli couldn’t spare time for any banter- with Siraj as he schooled ” Hass ke baat nahi karna inse” (Don’t play with them by making jokes). The two opponents have already clashed each other several times in this match that has been played.

However, Kohli was in the middle of controversy when it appeared to be an altercation with 19-year-old Sam Konstas. When Konstas, in a phase where he was brutally taking on the Indian fast bowlers, Kohli appeared to deliberately shoulder the young opener. And this added a new flavor of tension to the play of the day in a Test series already highly anticipated and intense.
