Konstas has managed to have some heated encounters with the Indian players. At the end of Day 2, he had a war of words with Jasprit Bumrah. In the fourth Test, a shoulder clash between him and Virat Kohli saw the latter handed a fine deducting 20 per cent of his match fees.

Yashasvi Jaiswal, the young Indian opener who had a previous altercation with Konstas during the MCG Test decided to retaliate at the SCG by sledging him from the slip cordon.
