Watch: Frustrated By Sam Konstas' Chatter, Yashasvi Jaiswal's Aggressive Act Stuns All

India batter Yashasvi Jaiswal had an heated exchange with Australia debutant Sam Konstas on Day 5 of their just-concluded 4th Test in Melbourne on Monday. The incident happened during the post-Lunch session with Rishabh Pant batting alongside Jaiswal. Konstas, who was deployed at silly point, was heard sledging Jaiswal.

"Third Umpire Should Have...": BCCI Top Official Breaks Silence As Yashasvi Jaiswal DRS Row Divides Cricket World

BCCI vice president Rajeev Shukla on Monday slammed third umpire Saikat Sharfuddoula for Yashasvi Jaiswal's contentious dismissal on the final day of the Boxing Day Test against Australia in Melbourne, saying the India opener was "clearly not out".

"On The Wrong Side...": Rohit Sharma Breaks Silence On Yashasvi Jaiswal's Controversial Dismissal In MCG

First undone by an unfortunate run-out, then denied a century by a controversial third umpire call, Yashasvi Jaiswal had quite a drama-filled outing against Australia in the 4th Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Jaiswal came close to scoring a century in both the innings but had to return to the dressing room in the 80s on both occasions. His dismissal in the second innings, however, triggered a huge controversy, with the third umpire deciding to overturn the on-field umpire's call despite Snicko not showing a spike. In the press conference, India captain Rohit Sharma admitted that the team was "unfortunate" about the decision made by the third umpire.

"Zero Confidence...": Pat Cummins Gives Clear Take On Yashasvi Jaiswal's Ultra Edge Row

Australian skipper Pat Cummins on Monday said it's tough to repose full “confidence” on ultra-edge technology but maintained that India batter Yashasvi Jaiswal had clearly edged him behind the stumps to Alex Carey. Jaiswal was batting on 84 when he tried to pull a short-pitched delivery from Cummins, only to be collected by Carey. As on-field umpire Joel Wilson did not uphold the appeal, it was referred to the third umpire. Ibne Saikat, third umpire from Bangladesh, however, overruled the on-field decision despite the Snicko not showing any spike.
