Yashasvi Jaiswal vs Sam Konstas: Yashasvi Jaiswal was the lone warrior in India’s gone-in-vain effort for a draw on Day 5 in the India vs Australia Boxing Day Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) 2024-25 at the MCG. Needing 340 to win, India’s batting faced a major collapse as barring Jaiswal and Rishabh Pant, no batter could register a double-digit score. While Jaiswal’s 84-run knock provided hopes for a draw, it was a heated exchange between the Indian batter with Australia’s debutant Sam Konstas that stole the limelight.

Fielding at silly point, Konstas continuously tried engaging with Jaiswal verbally to disrupt the well-set batter, leading the 23-year-old to tell the 19-year-old Australian to "do your job." The tension heightened when Jaiswal responded by smashing the next delivery straight into Konstas' body, adding to the drama of the India vs Australia rivalry.

Watch Jaiswal's response to Konstas' sledging in the IND vs AUS Boxing Day Test:

#YashasviJaiswal didn’t just let his bat do the talking!

A cheeky ‘Do your job!’ to #SamKonstas was all it took to light up the game with some good old-fashioned on-field banter. 🔥👏#AUSvINDOnStar 👉 4th Test, Day 5 LIVE NOW! | #ToughestRivalry pic.twitter.com/cF7tWqLtdM

Australia Take 2-1 Lead In BGT

Coming to how the IND vs AUS Boxing Day Test went, India required 340 runs to win on Day 5 of the 4th BGT match. After facing early blows in form of Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul and Virat Kohli, India's batting recovered well as Jaiswal stitched up a fine 88-run partnership with Rishabh Pant to give India a hope to at least eke out a draw in the game. However, a loose shot from Pant, gave Australia a crucial opening and they made the most of it as they bundled the Indians out for 155 runs, winning the fourth Test in the series by 184 runs, going 2-1 up in the five-match series.
