Bumrah vs Konstas: Jasprit Bumrah took his revenge on Australian debutant Sam Konstas on Day 4 of the India vs Australia Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on December 29 (Sunday). Bumrah clean-bowled Konstas and also gave the youngster a send-off, mimicking the 19-year-old Australian’s gesture of egging the MCG crowd on from earlier in the match.
Konstas, who had been aggressive and dominant against the Indian bowlers, including Bumrah, in the first innings, couldn’t repeat his performance in the second. Opening the batting with Usman Khawaja, Konstas faced a relentless spell of fast bowling from Bumrah and Akash Deep, before departing after just 18 balls. Konstas, who had struck six boundaries and two sixes—both off Bumrah’s bowling—in the first innings, could only hit one boundary, that too off an edge, during Australia’s second innings.
