IND vs AUS Test Series: The fans have seen a lot of excitement so far in the 2-day game of the fifth Test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 being played between India and Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground, in which Team India scored 185 runs in its first innings. Whereas the first innings of the host Australian team was also limited to the score of 181. At the end of the second day’s play, the Indian team had scored 141 runs at the loss of 6 wickets in its second innings.
Whatever happened on the last ball of the first day of this Test match will be discussed in the cricket world for a long time. In fact, with the last ball of the first day, Australian team’s opening batsman Sam Constas said something to Jasprit Bumrah, who was captaining Team India in this match, just before throwing the ball, due to which an argument was also seen between the two. After this, Bumrah took the wicket of Usman Khawaja and then everyone was surprised to see the way Team India players celebrated, on which now the statement of Australian team head coach Andrew McDonald has come out.
I spoke to Constas after he came into the dressing room
When asked about the way Team India celebrated in the press conference held after the second day of the Sydney Test match, Andrew McDonald said that when Constas came inside the dressing room, I talked to him and asked if he was okay. Are. The way Team India celebrated after taking the wicket was clearly quite intimidating. This was within the rules of the game and I am not making any allegations but it is not right to gather around a player of the opposing team who is on non-strike. It is our responsibility to keep the mental condition of our players good, so that he can perform better on the field.
McDonald expressed displeasure over ICC not taking action
Australian team head coach Andrew McDonald further said in his statement that the ICC not taking any action on Team India’s way of celebrating in this way also shows that they have considered it right and will not allow such incidents for the future. A limit has also been set regarding the cases because no punishment was given to them by the ICC. Let us tell you that in the second day of the Sydney Test match, Sam Constas lost his wicket on the ball of Mohammed Siraj after playing an innings of 23 runs.
