The 19-year-old Australian batter scored 60 runs in just 65 deliveries in his debut Test and was fierce against Jasprit Bumrah’s first spell, hitting a couple of audacious sixes.

After being presented with the Test cap by former skipper Mark Taylor, with his brothers and parents in attendance, Konstas literally sprinted out in the middle, eager to get on with the game. He requested senior partner Usman Khawaja to allow him first strike against Bumrah.

Star India pacer Jasprit Bumrah breaks his silence on Sam Konstas after their incredible battle on Day 1 of the Boxing Day Test match. Unorthodox Konstas hit Bumrah for 2 sixes. This was the first time in 3 years that Bumrah was hit for a six in Test cricket.
