On day one of the game, Sam Konstas stirred up the crowd while Virat Kohli was batting alongside Yashasvi Jaiswal during the last session. This happened when off-spinner Nathan Lyon was bowling Konstas, who had earlier been involved in a fight with Kohli, ensuring the atmosphere remained lively and engaging.

In the 26th over of the Indian innings, Sam Konstas, fielding near the boundary, got the crowd excited with cheers and applause to support Nathan Lyon. Yashasvi Jaiswal, who was batting at the time, remained unaffected and played Lyon’s over safely.

Later in the day, Sam Konstas got the crowd excited again when Virat Kohli was batting. This happened just before the drinks break in the final session of Day 2. The atmosphere at the Melbourne Cricket Ground was charged, adding to the excitement of the match.

Yashasvi Jaiswal and Virat Kohli played well together, adding over 100 runs to the partnership. However, towards the end of Day 2, India faced a dramatic collapse. As a result, the team came under intense pressure and Australia took control of the match, now aiming for a victory.
