‘Always comes back to bite you’ – Former Australian cricketer shares his views on Jasprit Bumrah's celebration after Sam Konstas’ wicket

Jasprit Bumrah has been the lone warrior for India in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia. The 31-year-old pacer showed his value yet again with four wickets before Tea to reduce the hosts to 91/6 with an overall lead of 196. His first wicket in the second wicket was that of Sam Konstas who had scored 60 in the first innings. 

As soon as Konstas was out for 8 runs, Bumrah was seen giving the youngster a send-off. The pacer did the rally the crowd pose which delighted a lot of fans. Former Australian batter Michael Hussey spoke about the send-off while on commentary duties on Fox Cricket. 

“It always comes back to bite you at some stage. I wonder if Sam Konstas is back in the dressing rooms thinking, 'I wish I charged him'. It just makes the battle between the two nations all the more spicy” Michael Hussey said on Fox Cricket. 

Mark Waugh replied “You don't see a lot of theatrics from Bumrah, but when Sam Konstas was dismissed, he thought, 'Yep, I'm here as well'. After the wicket of Konstas, Bumrah bowled an inspired spell after lunch. The 31-year-old dismissed Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh, and Alex Carey in a spell of ten-balls.

Aussie veteran discusses Rohit Sharma’s Test future

Former Australian batter Michael Hussey during his commentary stint on Fox Cricket was heard speaking about Rohit Sharma. There has been massive scrutiny of Rohit’s form after he scored just 22 runs from four innings. In the first essay, he was out for just three runs to Pat Cummins. 

Hussey said “I think they've given him that leniency already because he's been a great player for India. At some stage that leniency has got to stop and it stops after this Test match unless he makes runs in the second innings. I don't think you have to say 'where are you at?' You can see where he's at”

To which Mark Waugh added “The numbers don't lie. They've had a few tough wickets to bat on previous to this tour in India but you just see even his movement in the field. Even tactically he's been off the pace as well and he gets a used-by date, everyone does."
