Australia's teen batting sensation Sam Konstas is currently playing just the second Test of his career but is already in a war of words with the opposition. After being involved with Virat Kohli at MCG, Konstas had a heated altercation with Jasprit Bumrah in Sydney.
However, the youngster had to bear the taste of his own medicine on the second day of Sydney Test when he was sledged brutally by his counterpart Yashasvi Jaiswal. The sledging happened during the second day of the Test match when Jaiswal was heard saying a few words to Konstas.
"Kya ho gaya ab shot nahi dikh rahe kya (What happened, where are your shots now). Oy Kontas, shot nahi lag rahe kya abhi (Hey Kontas, why can't you play your shots now)," Jaiswal asked Konstas and provoked him to play aggressive shots.

Yashasvi Jaiswal sledged Sam Konstas in Hindi which was surprising to see but the moment had the commentators in splits. Commentators Jatin Sapru and Irfan Pathan enjoyed the moment as Yashasvi Jaiswal tried to get under the skin of Sam Konstas.
Sam Konstas' repeated altercations with Indian players
Sam Konstas has been getting under the skin of the Indian players ever since he made his debut in Melbourne. The 19-year-old opener was previously involved with India's stand-in captain Jasprit Bumrah in the dying stages of Day 1.
Bumrah was possibly bowling the last over of the day while Usman Khawaja was ensuring that India won't have any other over to bowl. Bumrah was frustrated by Khawaja's actions but at the same time, Konstas jumped into the conversation leading him to have a few words with the Indian skipper.
Both players had heated words with each other before the umpire had to jump in to calm them down. The moment got further when Jasprit Bumrah picked up Usman Khawaja's wicket off the final ball of the day with a superb delivery.
Bumrah turned straight to the non-striker Sam Konstas after picking up the wicket while the other Indian fielders too celebrated right in the face of the youngster. Jasprit Bumrah and the other Indian players were expectedly pumped after this wicket.

Meanwhile, India started the day well with the wicket of Marnus Labuschagne in just the fourth over of the innings. Sam Konstas looked to take the attack to the opposition but found it too tough on a pitch that provided assistance to the seamers constantly.
Konstas was finally dismissed by Mohammed Siraj for 23 off 38 deliveries. He struck 3 fours during his knock. Travis Heas arrived and started in an aggressive manner but Siraj picked up his wicket in the same over to dent Australia further.
Steve Smith had a good partnership with the debutant Beau Webster before the former was dismissed by Prasidh Krishna for his first wicket of the match. Smith was dismissed for 33 off 57 balls. India had earlier scored 185 in their first innings on the first day.
