Australian opener Sam Konstas has accepted his mistake in riling up with India pacer Jasprit Bumrah which resulted in Usman Khawaja’s wicket in the fifth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) in Sydney.
Australia won the game and the series 3-1, thus lifting the BGT after a gap of 10 years.
“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,” Konstas quoted to Triple M.
“Credit to Bumrah. He got the wicket, but obviously great performance from the team,” Konstas added.
The incident took place towards the end of Day 2 of the Sydney Test. With just a over to go before stumps, Bumrah was hurrying things up. On the other hand, Usman Khawaja, who was batting tried to play with Bumrah’s mind by stopping him in his run-up.
