New DelhiFormer Australian fast bowler Stuart Clark believes that Sam Constas is also a competitive cricketer like Virat Kohli and it would not be surprising if after the Boxing Day Test, both of them laugh off the ‘shoulder clash’ incident and share a photo. During the fourth Test in Melbourne, Kohli deliberately collided with Constas, due to which he had to pay a fine of 20 percent of his match fee and also had to be booed by the Australian fans.
Clarke, who has played 28 Tests for Australia, said that the two extremely competitive players get along well. “Contas is also competitive,” he told PTI. He wants to play well. From that point of view this issue will be a thing of the past and I would not be surprised if Kohli takes him under his wing. After the match, both of them can share their smiling picture while laughing about it. He will not take a backward step and neither will Kohli. Nobody wants to look back. It just wasn’t a good thing. ,
Clarke, who has been watching Constas since childhood in Sydney, said, “He is an aggressive player and that innings was fantastic.” I want to see how he plays in the second innings. Does he play aggressive or traditional? Warner had his own style and Sam will have his own.
Regarding the unfortunate run out of Yashasvi Jaiswal, he said, “There are two sides to the matter. Firstly, I don’t know whether there was a run there or not. I have no problem with Kohli going back. This was a misunderstanding and Kohli cannot be held responsible for this.
