Australia's most recent debutant Sam Konstas has been haunting the Indian team since the day he entered the ground. In the very first match of his career, the player scored 60 runs in 65 balls, announcing himself to the world. Well, he isn't remembered for his batting but for what he did to Jasprit Bumrah in the previous match. Konstas targeted the bowler and played some rash shots which was hard to digest. A 19-year-old playing reverse sweep off Bumrah is a huge deal in red-ball cricket.

On the second day of the fifth game when Bumrah was bowling to Konstas, Virat Kohli was giving him tips as to where to bowl in the game. Kohli said, "Yes Bumrah, there is your man now. Bowl him close towards his body, he might go for attacking shots. There is a chance to get him out. We have one over, take this chance."

Bumrah did exactly what Kohli asked him to do and then Konstas went to hit the ball but missed it. Later on, Bumrah didn't shy away from saying Konstas is batting like a No.10 batter. The savage comments from the captain show how frustrated he has been by the 19-year-old batter. 

Rohit Sharma's big statement on Team India

Rohit Sharma gave a big statement on the Indian team during the 5th Test match against Australia. He sided with his players and said that they wouldn't keep quiet if someone was constantly bothering them. This came out in the context of Sam Konstas who has been quite chirpy from the previous game.

"Humare ladke jab tak shaant hain tab tak shaant hain. Agar aap ungli kar rahe ho, tab thodi na koi shaant baithega. Cricket khelo, yeh faaltu ki cheezein, yeh bol bachchan karna shobha nhi deta hai. (Our boys are silent only till a particular time. If you are going to poke them, then they will retaliate. We all are here to play cricket. Please don't do such nonsense. These antics don't look nice," said Rohit Sharma.
