December 26, 2024 06:20

Aus 78-0 (15 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Konstas clips Siraj off his pads for a couple of runs to race to a half-century on debut from 52 balls, having hit five fours and two sixes.

What an incredible start to Test cricket for the 19-year-old. He managed to tame the world's best fast bowler with his ultra-aggressive approach to give Australia a flying start.

The next ball is short as Konstas pulls it over midwicket for a boundary.

He misses the pull shot off the third ball and is struck high on the pads and is forced to take some treatment.

Konstas taps Siraj on the leg side for a single and Khawaja does the same next ball.

Konstas again jumps down the pitch but fails to connect with the pull shot.

Akash Deep from round the wicket to Khawaja, who is beaten first ball as he pushes away from the body followed by a block.

Khawaja miscues the pull shot off Akash Deep but the ball clears the fielder running back from mid-on and Konstas has another play and miss off the short ball.
