Jaiswal Delivers Perfect Response to Konstas's Constant Sledging

The Melbourne Test proved to be a true spectacle, embodying the essence of Test cricket. The match between Team India and Australia was filled with thrilling moments, highlighting the well-known sledging culture of the Australian cricket team. Among the participants was 19-year-old Sam Konstas, making his international debut, who actively engaged in sledging to unsettle the Indian opener, Yashasvi Jaiswal.

Jaiswal, batting with determination, faced persistent verbal jabs from Konstas, aimed at breaking his concentration. Eventually, Jaiswal, visibly frustrated, firmly responded, telling Konstas to “mind your own business.” This exchange occurred during Nathan Lyon's bowling spell, adding an extra layer of intensity to the contest.

What followed was a fitting response from Jaiswal. Lyon delivered an over-pitched ball, and Jaiswal powerfully drove it on the off-side. The shot struck Konstas, fielding at silly mid-off, with notable force. The commentary team, including Irfan Pathan, couldn’t help but applaud the shot, with Pathan commenting, “What a strike!” The incident quickly gained traction on social media, with the video of the moment widely shared and celebrated.
