India National Cricket Team skipper Jasprit Bumrah was at his fiery best during the fag end of the ongoing fifth Test against Australia National Cricket Team. The match between the two teams is taking place at the Sydney Cricket Ground in Sydney.
India captain Jasprit Bumrah has been having a solid game so far. The captain first played a powerful innings of 22 runs and took his team to a total of 185 runs. But after that, he made sure that he lifted his team and took them off to a flying start with the ball.
Jasprit Bumrah ans Sam Konstas engage in a heated exchange of words at SCG
It all started during the last over of the day when Jasprit Bumrah was about to bowl to Usman Khawaja. Sam Konstas, who was at the non-striker's end, said something, and it didn't go well with the India National Cricket Team fast bowler, who took two steps forward as the duo had a go at each other.
Both the players were separated by the umpires but all of this surely didn't go well with Jasprit Bumrah. The fast bowler, on the last ball of the day, went on to remove Australia National Cricket Team opener Usman Khawaja and came up with an ultra-aggressive celebration.
Jasprit Bumrah bowled a fuller-length delivery that took the edge of Usman Khawaja's bat and was safely pouched by KL Rahul in the slips. But more than the wicket, the entire India National Cricket Team made sure that they had a go at the young Australian batter Sam Konstas.
As Bumrah removed Usman Khawaja, what caught the attention of many was the celebrations of Bumrah and Virat Kohli. The batter, from the slips, went towards the Sam Konstas but, this time, maintained his distance and celebrated in front of him.
Bumrah on the other hand, got the wicket and went towards Sam Konstas. The pacer, who is known for being calm, gave a fiery look to the young batter and then, after that, yelled loudly in aggression. The batter, on the other hand, kept his head down and walked off the field.

Jasprit Bumrah will be extremely important for the India National Cricket Team on Day 2 of the game
Bumrah will be extremely important for the India National Cricket Team on Day 2 of the game. His battle with Sam Konstas will be the thing to watch as in what was tha rarest of sights, the India National Cricket skipper was all fired up.
Bumrah took his 31st wicket in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. With the way the pitch is playing, it's fair to say that there is every chance that the India National Cricket Team skipper might take another fifer in the series. Coming to the scoreline, India got all out for 185 runs. After that reduced Australia to 9/1 and are ahead of 176 runs.
