Day 1 of the Sydney Test between India and Australia ended with a fiery display of cricket and drama. Jasprit Bumrah, India’s stand-in captain, dismissed Usman Khawaja with the last ball of the day, but it was his heated argument with debutant Sam Konstas, 19, that stole the show, even requiring the umpire’s intervention . The charged moment added intensity to an exciting day of play.

The firing wasn’t just about skill: it was timing. As the day drew to a close, Bumrah’s breakthrough provided India with a psychological advantage heading into Day 2.
