4th Test: Konstas Makes Blistering 60 On Debut As Australia Reach 112/1 Against India
Teenager Sam Konstas: Teenager Sam Konstas announced his arrival in international cricket with a blistering 60 off 65 balls, as Australia reached 112/1 in 25 overs against India at lunch on day one of fourth Test at the MCG on Thursday.
In front of more than 90,000 fans, Konstas was beaten four times, in the opening over, by a red-hot Jasprit Bumrah, and beaten multiple times thereafter. But that didn't stop Konstas from trying to rattle Bumrah and India off with an array of scoops, reverse-scoops and crunchy shots in a sparkling innings laced with four fours and two sixes.
He added 89 runs for the opening wicket with Usman Khawaja (38 not out), which is the highest opening partnership for Australia in this series. Konstas’ taking the attack to Bumrah ensured Khawaja freed up and be the most fluent version of himself in the series so far.
