Cricket crazy fans must have been stunned by the title. However, the Wikipedia edit about Australia’s young sensational batsman Sam Konstas has recently gone viral for his fiery exchange against top Indian batter Virat Kohli in the ongoing fourth Test match between India and Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on Thursday.

Konstas’ on-field heroics had an unexpected ripple effect on several crazy fans online.

Initially labeled the ‘Father of Jasprit Bumrah’ for his aggressive batting against the Indian pacer, his page was later altered to declare him the ‘Father of Virat Kohli’ following their confrontation.
