AUS vs IND: Warner praises Konstas, questions senior batters' approach vs Bumrah

India Today  

Former Australian opener David Warner has praised Sam Konstas's fearless approach against Jasprit Bumrah, crediting the 19-year-old for setting the tone during Australia's pivotal Boxing Day Test win that gave them a 2-1 series lead with one match remaining. Konstas's aggressive innings included 34 runs off Bumrah in the opening session, the most any batter has scored against the Indian pacer in one spell. Bumrah's nine wickets in the match underlined his status as India's key threat, with the pacer now holding 200 Test wickets at an astonishing average below 20. Bumrah has already removed Khawaja five times, and his haul in Melbourne keeps him on track to equal Shane Warne's record of 40 wickets in a single series this century.
