Australian opener's Wikipedia page edited with bizarre Virat Kohli reference during Day 1 of BGT 2024-25 4th Test

Miscreants online have edited Australian opening batter Sam Konstas' Wikipedia page, writing that the 19-year-old is Team India batting ace Virat Kohli's father. The two players mentioned above are currently playing the fourth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) 2024-25 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG).

Sam Konstas became Australia's 468th Test player today (Thursday, December 26) when he made his debut against India. Opening the innings, he went all guns blazing against the Indian bowling attack whilst attempting some audacious shots. Amid all of this, he was also involved in an on-field shoulder brush with Virat Kohli, who bumped into the opener and had a few words to say.

Following the incident, fans online expressed their displeasure at Kohli's actions. A few miscreants have logged into Konstas' Wikipedia page and made edits, calling him Virat Kohli's father.

Take a look at the same below:

Sam Konstas played a fine knock on debut. He scored 60 runs off 65 balls, courtesy of six boundaries and two maximums. India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja managed to prize the debutant's wicket (LBW) in the 20th over of the first innings.
