Read Original Content: [Watch] Sam Konstas Provokes Jasprit Bumrah; Indian Skipper Charges Toward Him in Anger

Stand-in Indian captain Jasprit Bumrah stole the show on Day 1 of the Sydney Test with his fast bowling and intense on-field drama. The day ended on a heated note as Bumrah dismissed Usman Khawaja with the final ball and exchanged icy stares with 19-year-old opener Sam Konstas. The fiery encounter added spice to an already intense match.

The drama began when Khawaja delayed Bumrah’s delivery during the final over, signaling he wasn’t ready. Konstas joined in by gesturing at Bumrah to stop, prompting Bumrah to question, “What’s the problem?” Tensions rose as the players had a brief face-off before the umpire stepped in to calm things down.

Two balls later, Bumrah bowled a full delivery that caught Khawaja’s edge, and KL Rahul completed the catch in the slips. Instead of celebrating, Bumrah turned to Konstas and delivered a piercing stare. The Indian team, led by Virat Kohli, celebrated loudly, adding to the intensity of the moment.

Australia ended the day at 9 for 1, with Konstas unbeaten on 7. The home team is just one win away from reclaiming the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, leading the series 2-1.

India’s Struggles with the Bat

Earlier in the day, India had a disappointing outing with the bat, getting bowled out for 185. Scott Boland led the Australian bowling attack with 4 for 31 in seam-friendly conditions. Rishabh Pant top-scored for India with 40, while Bumrah contributed a quick 22. Other Indian batters, including Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, failed to make an impact.

Australia now holds the upper hand, but Bumrah’s fiery bowling gives India hope. With the series and the Border-Gavaskar Trophy at stake, Day 2 promises to be equally thrilling.
