Konstas scored a brisk 60 off just 65 balls before he was trapped in front of his stumps by India&#8217;s allrounder <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatvnews.com\/topic\/ravindra-jadeja\" rel=\"noopener\">Ravindra Jadeja<\/a> in the 20th over.  <!-- \/8323530\/ITv_Desktop_VDO_1X1 -->\n  <\/p>\n<p>While Konstas\u00a0hit six fours and two sixes during his knock, his stay in the middle also saw him shoulder bump into the former India captain <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatvnews.com\/topic\/virat-kohli\" rel=\"noopener\">Virat Kohli<\/a>. The incident unfolded after the end of the 10th over. Konstas played the last delivery of Mohammed Siraj&#8217;s over and made his way towards the other end to have a chat with his opening partner <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatvnews.com\/topic\/usman-khawaja\" rel=\"noopener\">Usman Khawaja<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>On his way to the other end, Konstas shoulder bumped into Virat and the two had a heated exchange in the middle. However, before the tension could mount any further, umpire Michael Gough and Khawaja intervened and separated both individuals.<\/p>\n<p>Khawaja put his arm on Kohli&#8217;s shoulder and tried to calm him down whereas Gough spoke to both players and\u00a0play continued without much disruption.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Watch the video:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Konstas\u00a0scored a well-deserved half-century before Jadeja sent him back to the dressing room on the second delivery of the 20th over.
