Australia coach Andrew McDonald has claimed India tried to intimidate Australia's Sam Konstas during the fifth Test at the SCG.

Australia coach Andrew McDonald has accused India of trying to intimidate Sam Konstas with how they celebrated the wicket of Usman Khawaja on day one of the fifth Test at the SCG.

Jasprit Bumrah turned to celebrate in the direction of Konstas after dismissing Khawaja, in response to what he perceived to be time-wasting from the 19-year-old at the end of the day.

McDonald revealed he had some concerns about opening batter's welfare after play and intimated surprise that the visitors had not faced punishment.

He said: "My conversation with him was around whether he's OK. Clearly, the way India celebrated that was quite intimidating.

"It's clearly within the laws of the game, the rules and regulations. There's been no charges laid, but to have an opposition swarm the non-striker like that, we've got a duty of care to our player to make sure he's in a headspace to go out there and perform."
