IND vs AUS / 'It was very scary...' Australian coach got scared by this move of Team India

IND vs AUS: The last over of the first day of the Sydney Test witnessed tremendous drama for cricket lovers. Australian opener Sam Constas and Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah got into a heated argument, which gave a new direction to the heat of the match. After this, Bumrah dismissed Australian batsman Usman Khawaja, after which the celebration of the Indian players was worth watching. But this celebration gave rise to a new controversy, after which the Australian coach gave his reaction and also made serious allegations against the ICC.

What happened on the first day of the Sydney Test?

The matter started when Bumrah took some time before bowling to Australian batsman Usman Khawaja. Khawaja was taking time to take his position, due to which Bumrah became uncomfortable and expressed his displeasure. Meanwhile, Sam Constas said some words, which led to a heated argument between Bumrah and Constas. The umpire tried to calm the dispute, but the situation worsened.

Bumrah dismissed Khawaja within the next two balls and as soon as the wicket fell, the Indian team players, led by Bumrah, ran towards Constas in unison. The scene was quite vigorous, including the enthusiasm of the Indian players and the intense gaze of Bumrah. This style of celebration was completely new for the Australian players, and it also led to controversy.

Reaction of Australian coach

Australian team coach Andrew McDonald broke his silence after this incident. Expressing his concern about the celebration of the Indian team, he said, "If the opposing team runs in a herd towards the non-striker like this, then it is our responsibility to take care of our player. We should ensure that the player is mentally fine and is in a position to perform on the field the next day."

He also said that he spoke to Sam Constas about this after the match and took stock of his mental state.

Accusation on ICC

MacDonald was clearly unhappy with this incident and he also accused the ICC in gestures. He said that the ICC should not take any action against the Indian team's celebration because it was according to the rules of the game. Although he did not say anything clearly, but indicated that the ICC should take some action on this.

McDonald said, "It was clearly under the rules of the game. No charge was made. Now I leave it to the ICC and match referee Andy Pycroft. If they feel that it was okay, then that is our standard."

Rohit Sharma's reaction

Indian team captain Rohit Sharma reacted to this controversy and said, "Our boys remain calm until they are provoked. If someone raises a finger, they will not sit quiet." This statement of Rohit shows that the Indian team's celebration was inspired only by the mentality of playing and they are used to performing calmly, but when the challenge comes, they will respond to it with full force.

Conclusion

This incident on the first day of the Sydney Test has definitely set a new standard in the cricket world. The aggressive celebrations of the Indian team and Bumrah's quick reaction not only made the match exciting, but also proved that mental conflicts in cricket can sometimes become an important part of the game. Now it remains to be seen what action the ICC and other cricket authorities take regarding such controversies, because the line between sportsmanship and aggression is very thin.
