The first delivery was deftly scooped over the wicketkeeper's head for four, leaving Bumrah and the Indian camp momentarily stunned.

Konstas became the first batter in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy to hit a six against Bumrah. While most of the other Australian batters struggled to even withstand the pressure posed by the marquee Indian pacer, Konstas showed a new way he could be tackled.

Sam Konstas says he tried to “keep targeting” Jasprit Bumrah during a stunning opening hour of the Boxing Day Test as he rattled off a 52-ball half-century on debut.
