What happened between Jasprit Bumrah and Sam Konstas?

The banter between Jasprit Bumrah and Sam Konstas started when the former was waiting for Usman Khwaja to get ready and face the ball. The batter was not ready and stopped the pacer who was about to start his run-up, which resulted in frustrating Bumrah. Amid all this, the player on the other end of the batting side, Sam Konstas intervened in between which left the bowler angry. 

The umpire on the field, Sharfuddoula Saikat intervened in the middle, asking both the players to restart the game. The pacer, Jasprit Bumrah, one of the most successful players of the season gave a befitting reply as he dismissed Usman Khwaja by bowling the final ball of the first day.
