Sam Konstas on altercation with Jasprit Bumrah:
Even though it was Sam Konstas who started it all in the Sydney Test, Jasprit Bumrah has been facing criticism from several quarters. Many have opined that the senior pacer should have ignored the youngster. However, the Australian youngster has now admitted that it was his fault.
"Oh, I didn't get too fazed. Unfortunately, Uzi got out. He was trying to buy some time a little bit. It was probably my fault, but it happens. It's cricket. Credit to Bumrah. He got the wicket, but obviously great performance from the team," Sam Konstas told Triple M.
Meanwhile, Australia clinched the five-match series 3-1 to end their decade-long wait for a series win over India. They had not won a Test series against India since the 2014/15 season. The thumping victory has also helped them book a place in the World Test Championship final for the second time in a row.
They will be facing South Africa in the final, set to take place in June this year. Before that, Australia are also set to play two more Tests in the ongoing WTC cycle. They will be facing Sri Lanka in their last assignment of the ongoing cycle.
