Following konstas

Melbourne Cricket Ground: Australian debutant Sam Konstas admitted that he would have looked silly if he had gotten out on that ramp shot against Indian premier pacer Jasprit Bumrah but feels that it was a safe shot for him.

Konstas made his debut in place of Nathan McSweeney in the fourth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series on Thursday. The 19-year-old made an instant impact on the international stage with his fearless stroke play against Bumrah. During his 65-ball stay at the crease, the right-handed batter struck six fours and two sixes.

The Aussie teen attempted ramp shots against Bumrah in the seventh over of the innings and they went four, six and four. The Indian ace hadn’t been hit for a six in his previous 25 Tests over the past four years before Konstas did it twice at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Thursday.
