An Australian newspaper sparked controversy by depicting Virat Kohli as a clown after his on-field clash with Sam Konstas during the Boxing Day Test in Melbourne. The newspaper’s headline, “Clown Kohli,” showed Kohli with a clown’s nose and mocked the incident, where Kohli shouldered Konstas. Ravi Shastri, reacting to the over-the-top response from the Australian media, suggested it reflected desperation due to Australia’s winless run at Melbourne’s MCG. Shastri also defended the 20% fine imposed on Kohli, noting that precedents exist for such breaches of conduct.
