NEW DELHI: Former Australia pacer Damien Fleming believes the Indian team harbors little affection for fiery young opener Sam Konstas, following his heated exchange with Jasprit Bumrah on the opening day of the fifth Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
The incident unfolded in the final over on Friday, with Bumrah at his run-up mark and Konstas at the striker's end. The 19-year-old gestured for Bumrah to wait, as Usman Khawaja wasn’t ready to face the delivery. This sparked a verbal exchange between the two, culminating in Bumrah dismissing Khawaja on the next ball and delivering a pointed send-off to Konstas, ending the day on a high for India.
