During Day 2 of the high-stakes fifth Test between India and Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground, an amusing yet heated moment unfolded involving young Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal and Australian batter Sam Konstas. Jaiswal, fielding in the slips, decided to sledge Konstas in Hindi—perhaps forgetting that Konstas couldn’t understand the language.

Jaiswal cheekily teased him, saying, “Kya ho gya ab shot nahi dikh rahe kya? (What happened, can’t see your shots now?). Oye Konstas, shots nahi lag rahe kya abhi? (Hey Konstas, can’t hit shots now?).” The playful banter left former Indian cricketer Irfan Pathan chuckling in the commentary box. Meanwhile, the clip of this light-hearted exchange quickly made rounds on social media, drawing laughter from fans.

But it wasn’t all fun and games. A more intense moment came when India’s pace sensation Jasprit Bumrah, usually known for his calm and collected nature, had a fiery exchange with Sam Konstas. This unexpected confrontation surprised cricket fans who are used to seeing Bumrah maintain his composure on the field.

Earlier in the match, during an ongoing discussion about strategy, Bumrah and stand-in skipper Virat Kohli seemed to focus on targeting the young Australian batter. Kohli suggested a plan, saying, “Yes Bumrah, that’s your man now. Bowl close to his body; he might go for attacking shots. There’s a chance to get him out.” Bumrah followed through with precision, bringing even more intensity to the game.

As the Test match continues to unfold, these moments have added an extra layer of drama and entertainment, keeping fans on the edge of their seats.
