“Father of Virat Kohli” – Sam Konstas’ Wikipedia altered after mid-on battle during Boxing Day Test

Father of Virat Kohli, father of Jasprit Bumrah, Sam Konstas' Wikipedia page altered after his impressive knock against India

Australia’s youngest-ever Test opener, Sam Konstas, quickly became an Aussie fan favourite after his attacking innings against India in Boxing Day Test. After settling down for a few overs, Konstas played a smashing knock against top-quality Indian bowlers, including Jasprit Bumrah. Konstas pulled two sixes off Bumrah and scored an explosive half-century before being dismissed by Ravindra Jadeja. However, what happened alongside all this has also gained unexpected attention, and the controversy is currently making headlines.

Virat Kohli vs Sam Konstas

Everything came in the 10th over of the first innings when Sam Konstas was smashing all around the ground. Virat Kohli and Konstas were involved in a slight physical contact as Kohli walked past Konstas, brushing shoulders lightly. This made the Aussie teenager furious, and as the situation began to escalate, the umpires intervened to calm things down.

Shortly after this, several developments occurred off the field. Someone edited Sam Konstas’ Wikipedia page, writing that he is the “Father of Virat Kohli.” Before this, since he was hitting Jasprit Bumrah as well, another edit had labelled him the “Father of Jasprit Bumrah”.

As mentioned, it is currently the talk of the town and has garnered massive attention. However, Wikipedia editors quickly intervened and removed the offensive edits. Despite this, screenshots of the pages had already gone viral, creating disturbing moments for Kohli and Bumrah fans.
