Australian opener Sam Konstas made a stellar Test debut against India at Melbourne, scoring a quickfire fifty at 19 years old. He impressively took on Jasprit Bumrah with bold ramp shots, scoring boundaries and a six.

Konstas became the first batter in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy to hit a six against Bumrah. While most of the other Australian batters struggled to even withstand the pressure posed by the marquee Indian pacer, Konstas showed a new way he could be tackled.

Sam Konstas says he tried to “keep targeting” Jasprit Bumrah during a stunning opening hour of the Boxing Day Test as he rattled off a 52-ball half-century on debut.
