It isn't common for a debutant to play as fearlessly as Australia's Sam Konstas did en route to his 52-ball half-century against India on Day 1 of the Boxing Day Test in Melbourne. Konstas hit some exquisite T20-styled shots early in the innings to unnerve the Indian pacers, especially Jasprit Bumrah.
MELBOURNE :Teen sensation Sam Konstas had the crowd in the palm of his hand at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Thursday as he smashed India spearhead Jasprit Bumrah around the park and got under the visitors' skin with a half-century on debut in the fourth test.
MELBOURNE : Virat Kohli's conduct came under the microscope in the Boxing Day test in Melbourne on Thursday after a clash of shoulders with teen debutant Sam Konstas but the incident did little to knock the Australian wonder boy off his stride.
One of the most iconic moments of Ravichandran Ashwin's career came with the bat in hand, during the T20 World Cup 2022 game between India and Pakistan. Ashwin's iconic leave off Mohammad Nawaz - when India needed two runs off one ball - that saw it go for a wide, remains one of Indian cricket's most memorable moments in recent history. Reminiscing about the game between India and Pakistan, Ashwin said that the moment hadn't sunk in until he saw the way head coach Rahul Dravid reacted.
Former India all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin has played down the idea of being given a big farewell, following his retirement from international cricket. A talking point after Ashwin's retirement was how it had come without any farewell or prior preparation, but instead was announced abruptly to the cricket world. Former India World Cup-winning captain Kapil Dev had even mentioned that had it been upto him, Ashwin would've been allowed to retire with a lot of "respect and happiness". However, Ashwin has maintained his stance in quietly retiring without much of a farewell.
MELBOURNE :Australia captain Pat Cummins won the toss and elected to bat in the fourth test against India on a scorching day at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Thursday.
It isn't common for a debutant to play as fearlessly as Australia's Sam Konstas did en route to his 52-ball half-century against India on Day 1 of the Boxing Day Test in Melbourne. Konstas hit some exquisite T20-styled shots early in the innings to unnerve the Indian pacers, especially Jasprit Bumrah. Seeing Konstas bat in 6th gear, Indian cricket icon Virat Kohli looked to get on his nerves in the middle. In the first session, Kohli seemed to have given Konstas a shoulder push, with the aim being to unsettle the 19-year-old batter.
Talismanic India batter Virat Kohli has admitted he hasn't been disciplined enough in his last few innings of the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy series. After scoring an unbeaten century at Perth, Kohli has since made 7, 11 and 3 in this series currently locked at 1-1. “If you would have told us we're going to be one all heading into Boxing Day Test, we would have taken it with both hands. I agree, last two or three innings hasn't gone the way I wanted to. As I said, I haven't been disciplined enough to stick in there and, really grind it out. That's what the challenge that Test Cricket brings,” said Kohli to former India head coach Ravi Shastri ahead of day one's play in the Boxing Day Test.
