'Konstas had no right, no business talking to Bumrah': Gambhir calls Aussie youngster 'soft' after 'intimidating' blame

Hindustan Times  

India head coach Gautam Gambhir has responded strongly to his Australia counterpart Andrew McDonald's claims that India attempted to intimidate Australian debutant Sam Konstas during the tense fifth Test at the SCG. McDonald, Australia's coach, had voiced concerns over the on-field spat between Konstas and India’s captain, Jasprit Bumrah, after the dismissal of Usman Khawaja on the final ball of Day 1. Umpire Sharfuddoula Ibne Shahid Saikat gestures as he stands between Sam Konstas and India's captain Jasprit Bumrah during day one of the fifth Test According to McDonald, India's celebrations following the wicket, especially in close proximity to Konstas, were “quite intimidating.” “My conversation to him was just around whether he was okay,” McDonald said when discussing his check-in with Konstas after the altercation. It’s clearly within the rules and regulations of the game, as there have been no charges laid.” While McDonald acknowledged that India's actions were well within the rules, he expressed concern for the mental well-being of the young player, suggesting that such behavior, while legal, could be detrimental to Konstas' confidence.
