Assault On Jasprit Bumrah Was "Pre-Meditated": Australia Star Sam Konstas

"It was just another day for him" but not for a filled-to-capacity MCG as 19-year-old Sam Konstas went after a modern-day pace great with the ferocity of a Greek warrior, refused to back down from a confrontation and showed utter disdain for the archaic defence-first approach against India. It wouldn't be wrong to say that the sensation from Sydney, who is of Greek descent, made a debut to remember at the Boxing Day Test and created the impact that the Australian team management wanted from him.

Former India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar criticised skipper Rohit Sharma's decision to open following poor outings in the middle order, saying that one of the biggest issues with Indian cricket is how every attempt is made to ensure that big-time players come back into the form. After poor outings in the series at number six, in which he scored just 19 runs in three innings, Rohit returned to his usual opening spot and this made KL Rahul, the in-form opener in this series, slide down to number three. However, Rohit's stay at the crease was short-lived as he fell to Cummins due to a poor shot.

Not only did the 19-year-old make headlines by toying with Indian pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah and scoring 34 of his 60 runs against him, but Virat also got involved in a heated exchange with the youngster after bumping into him, making a direct physical shoulder-to-shoulder contact.
