Jasprit Bumrah got one back at Sam Konstas as India's pace spearhead knocked the Aussie teenager over in the second innings with an absolute ripper. Bumrah impersonated Konstas after getting him out in the seventh over of the game and egged the MCG crowd on.
It turned out to be a difficult outing for Konstas in the second innings after he showcased his batting talent in the first innings of the boxing day Test. Bumrah bowled a good length delivery which angled sharply into Konstas and knocked his middle pole over after finding the gap between his bat and pad.
Jasprit Bumrah celebrates wildly after knocking Sam Konstas over:
Konstas was seen getting involved with the crowd on numerous occasions during India's first innings at the "G". The 19-year-old became the toast of the town after scoring 60 off just 65 balls when Australia came to bat on day one at the iconic venue after winning the toss.
Konstas literally threw caution to the wind on day 1 as he hammered six boundaries and two sixes and was aggressive in particular to Bumrah. Konstas exhibited his repertoire of shots and floored the crowd and even the commentators on air.
