19-year-old Sam Konstas took the Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test series between India and Australia by storm, as he came out aggressively on debut and took the offence to the opposition attack, led by Jasprit Bumrah.

The swashbuckling opener set the tone for Australia's victory in the fourth Test in Melbourne, and even hit Bumrah for a reverse ramp shot six. His approach seemingly left one experienced Australia star rather stressed.

He applied the choke in the middle overs alongside Jamie Overton and got rid of in-form Tilak Varma with a peach of a delivery.
