  • Following the incident, Kohli was charged with breaching Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct and accepted the sanctions proposed by match referee Andy Pycroft at the end of the day.

The article discusses the controversy surrounding Virat Kohli's minimal penalty for an incident at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) during a Test match against Australia. Cricket Australia (CA) CEO Nick Hockley emphasized that there is a "very clear code" of conduct in cricket, which was applied in Kohli's case. Kohli was fined 25% of his match fee for an altercation with Australian players, which many felt was too lenient given the nature of the incident. The article highlights the disparity in penalties, noting that Australian players have faced harsher punishments for similar or lesser offenses. Hockley defended the decision by stating that the match referee, David Boon, made the call based on the established code, and while there might be room for review, the process was followed correctly. The incident and the subsequent penalty have sparked debate about consistency and fairness in cricket's disciplinary measures.
