India's star batter Virat Kohli faced disciplinary action for getting into a physical altercation with opener Sam Konstas on day one of the fourth Test between India and Australia in Melbourne.
Kohli was fined 20 per cent of his match fees and was handed a penalty of one demerit point for the shoulder-barging incident.
According to the ICC's Code of Conduct, "any form of inappropriate physical contact is prohibited in cricket. Without limitation, players will breach this regulation if they deliberately, recklessly and/or negligently walk or run into or shoulder another player or umpire".
A Level 1 offence would mean a match fee fine. Level 2 offences carry a penalty of three to four demerit points. Four demerit points would lead to a suspension of one Test.
