If you keep pointing your finger, he will not sit quietly…

During the last over of the first day of the Sydney Test, Australia's young opener Sam Constus and India's veteran fast bowler Jaspreet Bumrah got into a tussle. When Rohit Sharma was asked about this matter while talking on Star Sports after the lunch break of the second day's play, he gave a blunt answer. Rohit Sharma said, 'Our boys are calm as long as they are calm, if you keep pointing fingers, they will not sit quietly'.

What was the Bumrah-Constus controversy?

The entire incident is related to the last two balls of the first day's play. Bumrah was bowling the third over of Australia's innings and the last over of the first day's play. When Bumrah moved forward to bowl the fifth ball of the over, Usman Khawaja standing on strike was not ready. Once again Bumrah got ready to bowl the ball but Khawaja was again delaying, then Bumrah looked a little upset. Meanwhile, Sam Constus standing on the non-strike said something to Bumrah without any reason. Bumrah also came near Constus. Both were again seen saying something to each other. After this the umpire intervened and calmed the matter down.

The controversy did not end here. After this, Bumrah bowled a ball which was a dot. Then Bumrah bowled the last ball and got Khawaja's wicket on it. As soon as Bumrah took the wicket, he went towards Constus in anger and then stopped and started shouting at him. After this, the Indian players also celebrated the wicket in front of Constus.
