In this video a England fan can be seen who taunted Khawaja –
A video has emerged from Day 3 of the match where a spectator seemed to have taunted Usman Khawaja, prompting him and Marnus Labuschagne to confront the fan.
In this video, the English fan seemed to have said: “boring”. Unhappy with the comment, Khawaja confronted the fan and was also joined by Labuschagne.
Khawaja was asked the man, “What did you say, mate?”. Then, the Australian batter asked him to “calm down”, while Labuschagne then seemed to have said, “you’re just about to go at everyone else.”
The fan even apologised later on but Labuschagne was miffed. Khawaja then pushed his compatriot out of the confrontation. As for the match, rain washed out the entire final session on the 4th day of the 5th Test at the Oval in London, pushing the decider into the final day.
