Watch: Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah Brutally Sledge Sam Konstas In India vs Australia 5th Test, Mock Star

Sam Konstas is slowly turning out to be one character that antagonises India the most. The youngster has shown potential both with the bat and at mind games. Be it Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli or Jasprit Bumrah, Konstas has riled up all of them. And he himself has faced the music too. On the second day of the fifth Test in Sydney, Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah joined hands in sledging Konstas. In a video posted by official broadcasters on X, Kohli can be heard telling Bumrah: "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."

1st Time In 148 Years: Rishabh Pant Scripts History With Fiery Fifty vs Australia In 5th Test

Rishabh Pant smashed the fastest Test half-century on Australian soil by a visiting batter during the ongoing fifth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series at Sydney Cricket Ground on Saturday.

"He Tried Different Tactics": Australia Coach's Brutal Verdict On Virat Kohli While Facing Scott Boland

Australia head coach Andrew McDonald is not surprised with his pacer Scott Boland's eight-wicket haul in the ongoing fifth Test against India at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Saturday. Playing his third Test of the five-match series, Boland returned with the figures of 4-42 after finishing with 4-31 in India's first innings. His performance enabled Australia to restrict India to 141/6 at stumps on Day 2. “We're not surprised by Scotty's performances. Every time he plays, he does the job well. His ability to just be relentless on a length move the ball both ways, it's proving difficult, in particular on this (SCG) surface," McDonald said.

"Every Indian Fan...": Ricky Ponting Adds Fuel To Fire Over Virat Kohli Catch Controversy

Amidst plenty of discussion on whether Virat Kohli was not out or not on day one of fifth Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground, former Australia captain said he was not convinced by the not-out decision, adding that in his view, Steve Smith took a clear catch. In the first session, shortly after Yashasvi Jaiswal was dismissed by Scott Boland, the seamer almost got his second wicket on the trot when he found Kohli's outside edge, and Smith dived across to his right at second slip to take the catch. But it seemed like Smith had got his fingers underneath the ball and flicked the grass on the ground while scooping the ball to Marnus Labuschagne at gully, something which TV umpire Joel Wilson spotted while ruling Kohli not out after seeing various camera angles.
