“Not a great look I mean you know physical contact on the cricket field is a complete no-no so it wasn’t great,” Hockley told SEN Radio.
“I think clearly Virat in accepting the charge has taken responsibility,” he added. Konstas downplayed the incident, explaining that Kohli had accidentally bumped into him, a response Hockley considered remarkably mature.
“I actually thought Sam showed maturity beyond his years and was actually very gracious to brush it off,” Hockley said.
