After Sam Konstas' Brilliant Debut, Ex-Australia Star Demands More "Bravery" From Senior Batters

Lavishing praise on young Sam Konstas, former opener David Warner has urged Australia's senior players to adopt a similar aggressive approach when facing Indian pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah, who has been a dominant force with the ball in the ongoing series. The 19-year-old Konstas played some stunning scoops and laps off Bumrah en route to a 65-ball 60 on his Test debut during the fourth Test at Melbourne, which the Aussies won by 184 runs on Monday. "It was very special. People are going to criticise him as well. That's the nature of the beast, that's the way he is going to play," Warner told AAP.

"Kids And Women Are Watching": Navjot Singh Sidhu Fumes At Travis Head's MCG Act

The echoes of Team India's defeat in the 4th Test against Australia are going to be heard for a long time. The repeated failures of seniors like Virat Kohli, and Rohit Sharma, and irresponsible batting from young stars like Rishabh Pant resulted in India going 2-1 behind in the 5-match series at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

The wicket-keeper's departure also prompted a strange celebration from Australia star Travis Head, who was credited with Pant's wicket.
