India captain Jasprit Bumrah was involved in a heated exchange with Australian batter Sam Konstas during Day 1 of the ongoing fifth Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground. The confrontation occurred as Bumrah was preparing to bowl to Australia’s Usman Khawaja in the final over of the day. Konstas, standing at the non-striker's end, said something that did not sit well with Bumrah. The India fast bowler moved toward Konstas, and the two exchanged words before being separated by the umpires.
Despite the tension, Bumrah remained focused and delivered a key breakthrough. On the last ball of the day, Bumrah bowled a fuller-length delivery that edged Khawaja's bat, and the catch was taken by KL Rahul in the slips.
What followed was an intense celebration from Bumrah, known for his calm demeanor. The pacer walked toward Konstas, glaring at him before shouting in aggression. Meanwhile, Virat Kohli joined in the celebrations, approaching Konstas but maintaining a distance. Konstas kept his head down and walked off the field.
