Australia opener Sam Konstas has affected Test opponents India by getting “under their skin”, according to team-mate Scott Boland.
The teenager was involved in a fiery conclusion to day one of the fifth Test in Sydney on Friday.
Konstas, 19, exchanged words with bowler Jasprit Bumrah in the final over when India complained Australia were wasting time.
After Bumrah dismissed Usman Khawaja two balls later, he and various India team-mates moved to celebrate close to Konstas at the non-striker’s end.
“He’s playing with a lot of flair and definitely he’s under their skin, you can see that in the last few moments there,” Boland said on Fox Cricket.
“Hopefully he can go tomorrow and bat big.”
