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.

Debutant made a name for himself by smacking Jasprit Bumrah all across the park in the Boxing Day Test at Melbourne Cricket Ground. He played ramps and reverse scoops against the premiere India pacer and hit 14 and 18 runs respectively in two overs against Bumrah.

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.
