[Watch] When Jasprit Bumrah did to Dean Elgar what Sam Konstas faced in BGT 2024-25 5th Test

Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah was involved in a heated exchange with Australian opener Sam Konstas on the opening day (Friday, January 3) of the fifth Border Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) Test in Sydney.

Following the argument with Konstas, who was at the non-strikers' end, Bumrah dismissed Usman Khawaja on the last ball before stumps. A similar incident occurred in 2021 when India were playing South Africa in the first Test in Centurion.

On the fourth day of the match, Jasprit Bumrah was bowling the final over before the close of play. Then-South African captain Dean Elgar was at the non-strikers' end. Before the penultimate delivery of the 41st over, Elgar got into an argument with Bumrah, which also saw Virat Kohli and the umpire being involved.

Following the exchange, Bumrah bowled an excellent yorker to dismiss Keshav Maharaj, who was on strike. After dismissing the nightwatchman, Jasprit Bumrah also gave Elgar a stare, looking back at him.

Chasing 305 runs for a win, South Africa were reduced to 94/4 after losing a wicket on the final ball of the fourth day.

What was the exchange between Jasprit Bumrah and Sam Konstas all about?

Indian captain Jasprit Bumrah was bowling the final over before the close of play on Day 1 of the ongoing fifth BGT 2024-25 Test in Sydney. As Bumrah was getting ready to bowl, Usman Khawaja, who was on strike, backed off.

The pacer had to go back to his position and get ready to bowl once again, which frustrated him. However, as the Indian skipper made it known, Sam Konstas, who was at the non-strikers' end, had a go at Bumrah and did not hold back. The umpire had to intervene to handle the situation.

Following the exchange, Jasprit Bumrah dismissed Usman Khawaja as Australia lost a wicket right before stumps. Bumrah went towards Konstas after getting the wicket and the entire Indian team surrounded the youngster while celebrating the wicket.
