‘I have no regrets’: Sam Konstas reflects on the shoulder bump incident with Virat Kohli

The teenage Australia batter gave a bold remark on the incident, stating that he doesn't regret about it one bit and adding that he has watched it many times

One of the most controversial moments of the recently concluded Border-Gavaskar series was the shoulder-barge incident between Sam Konstas and Virat Kohli. It took place in the Melbourne Test during Australia’s first innings when both the players were crossing over.

Following the shoulder bump, both players glanced around and exchanged words before Konstas’ teammate Usman Khawaja stepped in to separate the duo from each other.

Later, Konstas opened up on the incident and stated that ’emotions got the better of both of them’. However, the teenage Australia batter came up with a rather bold remark in a recent interview.

“No, I have no regrets. I like to live by that and it was so special. I’ve watched it so many times, I’m not going to lie,” Konstas told 7NEWS.

The incident between Kohli and Konstas saw the former receive sanctions from the International Cricket Council (ICC) and was also fined 20 per cent of his match fees. Kohli was even labelled as a ‘clown’ by an Australian newspaper following the controversial incident.
