Sam Konstas’ fearless approach against world No.1 Jasprit Bumrah on debut makes commentators, players laugh

Live Mint  

Sam Konstas's fearless approach against world No 1 Jasprit Bumrah so early in his international career took everyone by surprise on the opening day of the fourth Test between India and Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Thursday. In just the third over of the Australian innings, after Pat Cummins won the toss and chose to bat first, Konstas faced Bumrah and confidently scored his first international runs with a double off Bumrah. The audacity of the 19-year-old trying to reverse scoop the world's best bowler caught everyone off guard, including the commentators, who were first taken by surprise and then burst into laughter. Former Australian wicketkeeper Adam Gilchrist, who was also on commentary duty, said, “I have got to say, they were engaged before, and they are now.” Even Bumrah had a wry smile on his face, while Konstas' opening partner, Usman Khawaja, smiled from the non-striker's end.
