Jasprit Bumrah Leaks Private Chat With Sam Konstas During BGT 2024-25

India lost the five-match Test series of the Border Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) 2024-25 by a 3-1 margin, but their premier pacer, Jasprit Bumrah, ended as the leading wicket-taker of the series with 32 scalps in nine innings at an average of 13.06 and a strike rate of 28.37, shouldering on three five-wicket hauls and a couple of four-wicket hauls at the best bowling figure of 6/76 in an innings.

The Blue Brigade made a fantastic start in the series with a cracking 295-run victory at the Optus Stadium in Perth. But they could carry the same form for the rest of the series and faced three defeats in the next four games, one of which ended in a draw thanks to the persistent rain at the Gabba in Brisbane.

The Gujarat bowler was prepared to bowl the last over of the opening day in Sydney to Usman Khawaja. Konstas walked into the middle to waste a few minutes, which fumed the Indian pacer. On the very next delivery, he sent back Khawaja and gave a fierce look at the New South Wales batter.

In a recent show, the host asked Jasprit Bumrah about their interaction, and the Ahmedabad-born came up with a hilarious reply as he was asking whether everything was okay at home.

“I don't know if you will be feeling something else, and I mainly asked him, 'Is everything okay?' Is your mother fine, is everything at home fine?' He said 'Yes, it's fine?' to which I said 'Now, I will bowl'. You guys must have interpreted it as something else. I think the lack of words may have caused some miscommunication.” Jasprit Bumrah expressed during a promotional event.

“Incidents like these happen when the game is close. We were wasting some time; they were trying to do it as well. But that's not the best example. I am not angry all the time, but sometimes, it happens.” The veteran pacer addressed.
