The drama unfolded on the penultimate delivery of the day when Khawaja took a little longer than usual to settle at the striker’s end, disturbing Bumrah's rhythm

Young Australia opener Sam Konstas has consistently demonstrated his aggressive intent, not just with the bat but also with his words in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy series.
On the final over before stumps on Day 1 of the fifth Test, Konstas unnecessarily provoked star India pacer and captain Jasprit Bumrah over a situation that did not concern him. Following the incident, Bumrah struck, dismissing Konstas' opening partner, Usman Khawaja, at the striker's end, which seemed to fuel the Indian pacer's aggression, prompting Virat Kohli to join the fray.
