The fierce India-Australia rivalry is reaching new heights at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. As the match intensified, the drama took an unexpected turn when Rajasthan Royals took a sharp dig at the Australian commentators over their scoop shot remark.
After making his debut in Test cricket, Sam Konstas turned heads with his explosive shots from the beginning. In the fifth over, Konstas missed a scoop shot against Bumrah but ended up missing it. After that, the Australian commentators remarked on the batter.
What Happened At The Moment?
After a break, India and Australia reunited again for the ongoing fourth Test match in Melbourne. As both teams are eyeing to take the lead in the series, the intense battle started from the very beginning. The Melbourne crowd witnessed a thrilling contest between young debutant Sam Konstas and Jasprit Bumrah.
As their rivalry was going on between these two stars, Bumrah came to bowl in the fifth over. In the last delivery, Konstas was on strike and the Indian speedster bowled a good-length delivery, pitching outside the off stump. In that delivery, the Aussie debutant tried to hit a scoop shot but failed it. That was a brave move by him.
Rajasthan Royal’s Dig At The Australian Commentators
Though Konstas failed the shot he earned praise for that brave attempt. The Australian commentators hailed the batter saying, “We have never seen someone play like that in Test Cricket.” That remark caught ears.
After that remark, the Rajasthan Royals took a playful jab at the Australian commentators, posting a picture of Rishabh Pant playing the brave scoop shot against Australia. That moment sparked an unexpected twist in the ongoing rivalry.
The rivalry is on high as the home side is trying hard to keep the domination alive and the Indian bowling lineup is on quest of securing scalps. After Konstas secured a half-century on debut, Jadeja sent him back on 60 runs. After that, Labuschagne and Khwaja are on their way to making an impactful partnership. In the 27th over, Australia is 112-1.
