Konstas was involved in various confrontations in the two Tests that he played. Both of those confrontations came against two big Indian players - Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah. Former Australia cricketer Damien Fleming has opened up on Konstas' impact on the Indian players.

"I've never seen (Jasprit) Bumrah react like that. So he sparked something in the Indians that not a lot of people have. And when he (Sam Konstas) batted, he didn't look like he was fazed from all the chat from the Indians," Fleming wrote in his column.
What happened between Sam Konstas and Jasprit Bumrah?
During the dying stages of Day 1 of the Sydney Test, Jasprit Bumrah was involved in a heated exchange with Sam Konstas. Bumrah was bowling the last over of the day with Usman Khawaja on strike. The batter looked to take his time in order to ensure that it was the last over of the day.
Bumrah responded back and it led to a war of words between the two players before the umpire intervened. Fittingly, Bumrah picked up Khawaja's wicket off the last ball of the day and immediately looked back at Konstas. The Indian players were clearly pumped and celebrated wildly with Konstas around them.

"Bumrah deserved to be player of the series with 32 wickets, but there's an argument to say that Travis Head won this trophy," Fleming claimed.
Meanwhile, Australia won the series 3-1 and clinched its spot in the World Test Championship Final where they will face South Africa at Lord's. The match will be played from June 11. On the other hand, India were knocked out of the race for the WTC Final.
