WATCH: Jasprit Bumrah loses cool; engages in heated conversation with Sam Konstas

On rare occasions, the Indian fans get to see Jasprit Bumrah all riled up on opponents. Against Australia in the fifth Test match, the cricket world witnessed an angry Bumrah, who had a heated argument with the 19-year-old Sam Konstas while bowling the last over of the day. It was a different sight to watch the player get heated up and celebrate aggressively.

The fight started with Konstas and Bumrah exchanging stares and words at each other on the fourth ball of the third over. Konstas wasn't backing off, and neither did Bumrah. Then, on the sixth ball, Bumrah dismissed Khawaja and ran straight to Konstas and gave him a death stare. Other players followed him and started celebrating in front of the young player, who started to walk away after the day was called off.

At the end of day one, Australia are 9-1. They are trailing by 176 runs and will be back on day two with a different strategy to tackle the Indian bowling attack. After a terrible batting performance, India will have to lean on the bowlers to rescue them from this situation. 

We understand the importance of adapting to overseas conditions: Sunil Gavaskar

Former India batter Sunil Gavaskar spoke about the pitch at the SCG and why the Indian experts are quite interested in it. He clarified that they understand the conditions of the pitch and that the players should play on all sorts of pitches rather than whining about it. At SCG, the pitch has lush green grass on it, suggesting a bowler-friendly wicket. 

"Justin Langer, who's played in Australia, has said he's never seen so much grass on a pitch. But what you would have noticed is that no former Indian player has complained or whined about it. If a pitch in India is bereft of grass and looks like it's going to turn, so many former players from different parts of the world criticise our pitches. But former Indian players rarely complain because we understand the importance of adapting to overseas conditions," said Sunil Gavaskar.
