Australia coach Andrew McDonald has accused India’s players of “intimidating” teenager Sam Konstas during the celebration of Usman Khawaja’s dismissal on Day 1 of the fifth Test at the SCG. McDonald expressed concern about the on-field altercation between Konstas and India’s captain, Jasprit Bumrah. He described the celebration as “quite intimidating,” though he acknowledged it was within the game’s rules. McDonald checked on Konstas’ well-being, highlighting the need to ensure the young player’s mental state was unaffected. Despite McDonald’s concerns, no fines or charges have been issued by the ICC regarding the incident.
